Heathfield School, Ascot, welcomed John Endean as new Director of Summer Courses in 2023

‘Summer courses are about maximising opportunities and realising potential – but are essentially heaps of fun!’ says John

 Heathfield School, Ascot - an independent secondary boarding and day school for girls aged 11-18, rated ‘Excellent’ across all areas by the Independent Schools Inspectorate – is delighted to welcome John Endean as its new Director of Summer Courses. With over 35 years’ experience in planning and delivering top-class holiday activities and learning, and with the last 16 years spent at other prestigious independent schools, John is passionate about providing the best possible experiences, adventures and academics for all the girls attending Heathfield’s Summer Camp and Summer School. John has a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) qualification and holds a Diploma in English Language Teaching Management (DELTM), the principal diploma level qualification for academic managers, operations managers and directors at English language teaching centres.

Commenting on his new appointment, John said, ‘I’m extremely excited - I can’t wait for summer school to start! Heathfield has been running extremely successful summer courses for over 40 years, and I aim to continue to build on this great tradition. The summer courses bring the girls together to live, socialise and study in Heathfield’s stunning 36 acre grounds, in a positive and enjoyable meeting of cultures. We’ve been busy making the final arrangements to a spectacular summer schedule. For many of the attendees, this will be one of the highlights of their young lives, and for their parents there’s the joy of providing an experience that their child will treasure for a lifetime.

 ‘As parents, we typically want the best for our children, and when they ask me to summarise the benefits of attending a summer course, one word always jumps to mind - confidence. Everyone is supported and encouraged to try something new, fully embrace everything we have on offer and perhaps step outside their comfort zone. With the great combination of a huge selection of activities and social and performance opportunities, confidence grows every day.

‘This year we will be welcoming over 120 girls aged 8-17 to our International Summer School, which includes a bespoke General English Language course accredited by the British Council. In the afternoons, evenings and weekends there is an exciting range of creative, cultural, sporting and performance opportunities to choose from, along with three excursions each week. We have girls attending from Spain, Italy, Norway, Cyprus, Japan, China, Jordan, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Taiwan, Portugal, Austria, Turkey, Czech Republic, Switzerland, France, Monaco and of course the UK.

‘We will also be providing flexible day and boarding Summer Camp for around 150 girls, age 7-15, from the local area and across the UK, and additional international students who are already fluent English speakers. All the attendees will be enthralled by the varied daily programme which is guaranteed to be both fun-packed and educational.

‘At Heathfield, we are passionate about encouraging and inspiring the young women of tomorrow by giving them the opportunity to enjoy excellent education, activities and new experiences and making some very special memories.’
