Social Scene

Scanbrit School of English actively encourages its students to participate in local social activities as another way of developing their English ability. The town of Bournemouth has many opportunities for those who wish to pursue sporting or cultural activities. In the vicinity of the School students can participate in golf, squash, tennis, fishing, sailing, wind surfing and badminton. The school office can provide up to date information about sports, theatres, discos, and travel possibilities.

On arrival at Scanbrit, all students are given a wallet containing town maps and details of social activities.

A regular programme for students' free time is organised throughout the year including:-

• Weekly video films on the school's large screen.
• Darts and table football tournaments at school.

Scanbrit has its own minibus to transport students to activities. The school social activities are either free or at a very reasonable cost to cover entry prices where applicable. Professional sports tuition in most sports can also be arranged if required. Students are often surprised how much English they learn when they are relaxing in a social atmosphere with students from all over the world.
