workshops are a very important part of the LINES experience. 2 sessions of 45 minutes each are dedicated to workshops daily. They provide active learning experience where students can interact and communicate using the French language.

Workshops will be selected on site.
In Swanbourne,
we continue to deliver our carefully designed learning programme, helping children aged 7–11 practise all aspects of the English language. The programme also supports their developmental needs, fostering confidence and communication skills in English. Daily assemblies, small class sizes, and the involvement of experienced primary school teachers ensure each child is fully supported. Children will enjoy interactive projects, creative activities like songs and role plays, and will complete their own Daily Diary to document their journey and reinforce their learning.
