Week 2: A week filled with thrills
Our Wednesday trip was not for the faint hearted as we travelled to Thorpe Park. Filled with huge stomach-churning rollercoasters, only the brave survived!
Throughout the week, the students got more and more involved in their lessons and activities. A highlight in the second week was the Ghost Walk in which the staff retold stories of the ghosts that inhabit Leighton Park School! We all put our dancing shoes on for the end of the week and enjoyed a disco together!
On Sunday, we had a cultural visit to Windsor Castle. Built in the 11th Century, it is inhabited by the Queen. Unfortunately, we weren't invited to afternoon tea but we had a great time looking around the Castle :)

Week 1: A little bit of Magic
Week one
Students were thrown into life at Sir Richard. With over 180 boys and girls from all over the world, students had a chance to meet new friends and practise their English.
During the first week boys stayed in Fryer and Reckitt boarding houses, whilst girls stayed in School, Grove and Field houses.
There were many students from many different countries joining us this year at Studio and we welcomed many groups of all different sizes.
Aside from the Monday morning English tests, the students were encouraged to participate in sports such as swimming and rounders and make beautiful creations in the art room under the direction of the school's resident art teacher. A highlight of the week for many students was the Saturday night talent show, where students could show case their music and dance skills. The Dance students, who had been practising hard all week, got to perform their dance in front of the other students. The football boys were awarded their medals after the "world cup" they had played earlier that day - huge congratulations to 'Real Madrid' for winning!
In week one, the students got to visit London and see the sights! Later the group split up, with the football boys visiting the mighty Wembley stadium and the other student had the chance to see Matilda the Musical - much fun was had by all.
Even more exciting than London, many of the students looked forward to the Sunday excursion to Harry Potter Studios! Here the students got to walk down Diagon Alley, Enter the Great Hall and attempt to fly a broomstick! The gift shop was enjoyed by all, with one student even buying a replica wand!
What a great start to the course and still 4 more weeks to go!

A Busy Year at Sir Richard 2013!
Greetings from Sir Richard!
This year has been very exciting, with trips to London, Brighton and Thorpe Park to mention just a few.
The students have had the opportunity to experience local culture in Reading town centre, whilst indulging in a bit of shopping.
Frequent trips to London gave the students a chance to visit some major tourist hot spots such as Covent Garden and the Camden Lock. Many students experienced an exciting musical such as Matilda, Wicked or The Lion King. Those more interested in football were taken to see Wembley stadium or Chelsea's famous ground, Stamford Bridge.
Other cultural excursions included Windsor Castle, Warwick Castle and Stratford upon Avon.
On campus, the students had time to sit back and relax when not participating in activities. When they were not in lessons, students took part in football, dance, swimming, craft, clay modelling and many other exciting activities!
Here's a week by week run down of our stay here....
