    What is English & Football with Tottenham Hotspur at Royal Holloway?

    English & Football with Tottenham Hotspur at Royal Holloway is a residential Oxford International Juniors summer programme for ages 10-17. Students combine 15 hours of English lessons each week with 12 hours of professional football coaching from Tottenham Hotspur Global Football Development coaches, plus stadium tours, excursions, full board accommodation, and supervised activities on the Royal Holloway campus in Egham.

    Who should consider this?

    Best for

    Young learners aged 10-17 who want a residential English language programme combined with professional football training and UK excursions.

    Not ideal if

    Not ideal if you are looking for a purely academic language course without sports activities, or if you prefer a non-residential or non-intensive summer programme. This program requires commitment to both English lessons and football training, so it may not suit participants uninterested in football or extended participation.

    Is it worth it?

    This programme provides a combined focus on English language development and football training, which can be beneficial for teens interested in both areas. The integration of sport and education offers a balanced approach to learning that may enhance motivation. However, the value depends on individual goals—those primarily seeking intensive English language immersion or advanced football training alone might consider other options. The in-person experience and association with a professional football club add distinct elements but should be weighed alongside personal preferences and learning objectives.
