Dear Reader
Welcome to the May 2025 issue of The Clever Fox Newsletter. We hope you will enjoy reading the articles below. Just click on the buttons below to read more.
Our summer camps are just two months away and our teams are gearing up to give our students the best possible experience this year. Despite challenges, our Camp at Sidcot School is looking particularly strong this year. Perhaps because it is in the tranquillity of the English countryside and an ideal location for families wanting to avoid sending their children to London or preferring an outdoor, sporty experience.
However for those who like the idea of being close to some of the world’s most iconic sights our career pathways at David Game College are also proving very popular. In fact we may have limited availability of some of the pathways. So please book your places as soon as possible or please get in touch if you would like to clarify anything.
All the best from the Academic Summer Team
