| LAL Torbay: Kelly College on the Up! Additional space available for summer 2006! Over the last 16 months, Kelly College, LAL Torbay's residential summer school for students aged 9-16, has gone through a sharp and upwardly bound move in its refurbishments. Kelly College is a picturesque Gothic-style independent school, set in the heart of Devon in south west England, situated on the outskirts of Tavistock, within easy reach of the unique Dartmoor National Park.  Kelly College exterior  Kelly College student lounge An increased capacity from 180 to 200 ensures that we can accommodate more students without losing the personal touch. The accommodation houses have gone through renovations giving a newer, brighter feel while adding some indoor games facilities when the British summer turns to rain. Gone is most of the old, dark, bedroom furniture. The walls have been painted, mostly in bright pastel colours, leather sofas adorn some of the recreation rooms, giving a real English, almost Gentlemen's club atmosphere, and more DVD players have been provided, along with a selection of DVDs and videos, to keep students occupied after a long afternoon playing one of the many sports and other activities we provide. Even the swimming pool, the training arena for Sharron Davies, one of England's foremost Olympians and Olympic Silver medallist at the 1980 Games, has been refurbished with a new roof and ventilation system.  Kelly College hall Last but certainly not least, Kelly College has at its disposal, the Adventure Centre - a professional outdoors pursuits facility, offering the students an unforgettable day or half-day of activities ranging from canoeing to climbing, archery to abseiling (rappelling). Whilst not included in the price, a very modest charge will secure a place at this not-to-miss facility. Included in our competitively priced package are 20 lessons General English with a comprehensive activity programme (6 activities per week), with special excursions bookable on-site. After the success of last year, and with Mark Cook, an experienced Centre Manager at the helm, with a strong, supportive team behind him, this year will prove to be even more successful. Click here to find out more about our programme at Kelly College, that runs for 6 weeks, in three 2-week blocks, from July 5 to August 26, 2006, or write to Mark Cook on mark.cook@lalgroup.com.
