Business and leadership English at Clifton College, Bristol, for ages 11–18: 20 hours a week of English, presentations and team projects, ending with a product pitch to the public.

The Young Entrepreneurs Programme adds two afternoon workshops a week to 15 hours of morning English, for 20 hours in total. Through hands-on projects, teamwork and real-world challenges, students step into innovation, leadership and business while improving their English.

Students learn to research, plan and deliver presentations, build convincing arguments, use body language and tone, speak to an audience with confidence and develop sales strategies, and finish by pitching a product to the public.

Accommodation, meals, activities and excursions are as on the Junior English Summer School at Clifton College, with boarding-house rooms, full board and weekly trips to London, Bath or Cardiff.

Parents of under-18s sign a consent form before arrival. Every student gets an induction on centre rules and a lanyard with emergency contacts, worn at all times. All staff hold an enhanced DBS check and at least Level 1 safeguarding training; a Centre Manager and Director of Studies are on site, and staff are on call 24 hours a day. There is 24-hour CCTV and security staff on site.
