Accommodation

Homestay – Live with an English family, practise your English and learn the culture first hand! Breakfast and dinner will be provided on weekdays and all three meals on weekends (including packed lunches if you are going on an excursion), and laundry facilities will always be available. Students do need to keep their rooms tidy.

Sep-June £100 p/w July-August £105 p/w

Self-Catering – This kind of accommodation is usually a room in a flat with other students or a single bedroom within a family’s house (though contact with the family would be more limited than with the homestay). Students are responsible for making their own food and cleaning up after themselves.

Year Round £80 p/w

All of the accommodation provided is thoroughly checked by our accommodation officer. If you have specific requirements, please contact the school.

The City of Portsmouth

Portsmouth is a vibrant, lively city with numerous things to see and do. It is steeped in rich history and is renowned as one of the most famous naval ports in England. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, beaches and historical monuments, Portsmouth is a legacy to both the old and the new. Within the city centre and along the esplanade, all manner of cafes, restaurants, pubs and clubs can be found. Large shopping complexes house all of the latest fashions and technology, and there is a surplus of cinemas, bowling alleys, pool halls and sports centres.

It is located along the south coast of England, only a boat ride from the Isle of Wight, or even Spain and France. It is only ninety minutes by train to London, and much less than that to cultural and historical locations such as Chichester, Southampton, Winchester or Brighton.
