**The Role**

SBC Activity Leaders are key members of the Activity Programme who are in charge of the planning and delivery of the exciting activities that SBC schools offer to students. Enthusiastic and fun Activity Leaders are essential to a successful summer. Whilst more traditional language learning takes place in the classrooms, the Activity Programme provides another environment for using and practising the English language.

**The Site**

Headington Oxford International Summer School is located in the leafy suburb of Headington in Oxford, yet it is only a mile from the very centre of the historic town. Year-round, Headington operates as an all-girls school educating around 1,000 students from 30 different nationalities. This international element means that the host school is perfectly geared toward providing a welcoming and exciting atmosphere for summer school students. The facilities are excellent, with newly decorated bright accommodation for students and staff. The school is for students aged 13-16 and the capacity is approximately 200 students a week.
