Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 15

Two days of excursions can only ever lead to one thing, a well-deserved lie in. Follow this with a nice brunch at one of Cambridge’s many picturesque cafes and eateries, and you have a pretty perfect morning. That is exactly what the students of Reach Cambridge were treated to today. Considering the beautiful weather this…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 14

Another day, another excursion for the students of Reach Cambridge! We thought we’d add some variety to proceedings today, and we did not go to London. Instead we gave the students an experience quite unlike any other, and we headed to the Great British Seaside. The typical understanding of a trip to the seaside involves…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 13

Despite it only feeling like five minutes ago since Reach Summer 2018 began, our second round of weekend excursions has begun. The last week has been filled with fun, activities and learning, but it’s also been hard work, and so everyone was in need of some adventure. We at Reach Cambridge like to think that…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 12

We were glad to see the sun back out and shining for this fun-filled Friday after a couple of grey days here in Cambridge! As usual our day kicked off with a diverse range of engaging classes. The English as a Second Language Class had a particularly fun morning taking on the role of film…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 10

Today marked a particularly exciting day for students and teachers at Reach, with several classes taking trips out to sites around Cambridge, seizing learning opportunities outside the classroom. The staff team even joined in on the fun with a group workout after our morning meeting! The English Literature class were lucky enough to experience not…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 9

A slightly cooler temperature and light drizzle this morning was a welcome change to the heat and intense sun we’ve had over the past week. Today students went to class as usual, learning about everything from radiology and anatomy in medicine, to an introduction to modernism in English literature. They then headed into town for…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 8

After a busy weekend of excursions, our students have been spoilt today with a well deserved lie in. Classes were pushed back to 1:30pm which gave them the chance to recharge and regroup, ready for an action packed second week on the program! This has meant that we have had some great work being done…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 6

There’s nothing better, after a week of lectures and making new friends, than hopping on a bus and going somewhere new. Reach Cambridge likes to fill the weekends with exciting excursions to different tourist attractions throughout the country. Today, students were up bright and early for breakfast, then piled on a coach for a two…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 4

The morning lessons were as busy as ever, with some excitement for the engineers who got access to some of the department’s sketching boards. They were not the only class to enjoy a treat during class time as the ESL students took a trip out into town as part of their day devoted to the…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 3

Today marked the start of the Reach Programme Running club. Led by senior member of staff David, a significant number of our students opted for an early start, exercise and some fresh air. The subsequent breakfast was especially well-deserved and they approached the morning with fresh minds. Classes continued this morning, and the students have…
