The school's own page announces 4 July–15 August 2027, for 1–6 weeks. The 2026 season was 5 July–16 August. The linked brochure and cancellation PDF still describe 2026; published dates do not establish remaining places.

Overlapping holiday tags help you browse broadly. School breaks vary; check the stated year, actual dates and duration.
Sources checked ·Who can apply
The official family course accepts visiting international families; prior enrolment at the host school or local residence is not required.
Parent and child stay together. Core ages 3–12 are consistent; age 13 needs written confirmation because the 2027 headline says 3–13 while the FAQ excludes 13+. Parents who skip lessons must remain on site.
Teaching language and starting level

Additional fee notes
The direct-school 2027 price is £2,625 (Approx. ¥546,000) for one adult and one child for one week, including the residential course. Medical insurance is compulsory for overseas participants and is not included; flights, transfers and optional specialist activities are extra. The 2026 brochure's extra-child £995 (Approx. ¥207,000) and extra-adult £1,345 (Approx. ¥280,000) weekly supplements are historical, not verified 2027 prices. The required insurance premium is unverified, so the displayed example is an incomplete total.
JPY estimates use 2 October 2026 reference rates, normally rounded to ¥1,000, with whole-yen values near filter boundaries. Payment rates and fees differ. Rates and sources
What the days look like
Parents receive 10–12 hours of English weekly in the published 2026 model. Ages 3–7 have morning English and afternoon Holiday Club; older children combine English with subjects such as maths, science and art. Wednesday afternoon and Saturday full-day trips are standard; confirm the child's exact 2027 teaching hours.
Parents, accommodation and transport
Family rooms with private bathrooms are on campus, with meals and laundry facilities. Sunday arrival is from 16:00 and departure by 10:00; no lunch is provided on those arrival/departure Sundays. Airport transfers cost extra. From Tokyo, allow a long-haul flight and onward travel to rural Shropshire.
Why it is in this guide
A school-run short course where a parent stays with the child, with local children joining the afternoon Holiday Club. The school documents summer operation in 2024 and 2026 as well as its announced 2027 season.
Who it may suit
Families wanting a shared campus stay, beginner-friendly English and an introduction to school subjects. It can work for siblings across primary ages when the school confirms each child's group.
What to weigh up
The course page says ages 3–13 but the FAQ explicitly caps standard participation at 12: obtain written agreement for a 13-year-old. Parents remain responsible outside signed-in sessions and must stay on site when skipping their own classes.
Operating history and evidence
Independent, dated parent evidence is sparse. A commercial adviser publishes an undated positive three-week parent account; the school hosts selected international-family testimonials. A Japanese consultant's visit was hosted by the school, so it is useful observation with a commercial interest, not an independent family review.

Three-week parent account on an adviser site
A parent describes a three-week stay with her son and praises teaching for both generations, helpful staff, the grounds and organisation of transfers.
Selected testimonial on a commercial adviser website; no publication or stay date is shown and the child's age is unspecified. It cannot establish current quality or represent the range of family experiences.

Japanese consultant's hosted school visit
The visiting consultant describes separate morning lessons, shared family meals, afternoon activities with local children, and a Wednesday excursion. She also describes the dining and accommodation arrangements she observed.
The author is an education consultant invited by the school, which provided transport and a hotel. This is a commercially connected visit, not a paying family's independent review; the extracted page did not establish its publication date.
Read the sourceBefore you book
Confirm age-13 eligibility, 2027 lesson hours, any additional-child quote, medical insurance and the applicable contract. The website's FAQ says the balance is due one month before arrival, while the linked 2026 terms say 60 days; obtain the invoice schedule before paying. Do not combine a direct-school price with Kings' separate booking conditions.
Cancellation and refunds
The linked 2026 direct-school terms require a 20% deposit. They describe refunds before Easter less deposit/admin charges; later cancellations more than 60 days before arrival receive 50% less those deductions, and 60 days or fewer receive no refund. The boundary and unspecified admin deductions need clarification. Visa refusal is refunded less £250 with evidence. Request the 2027 contract.
