Face-to-Face Course

    We are only able to offer places to those participating in all subjects for the full 3 weeks due to the consistently high demand for the limited places, coupled with timetabling constraints.

  • Year 5

    Our face-to-face course for Year 5 is held at King’s College School and we are only able to offer places to those participating in all subjects for the full 3 weeks due to the consistently high demand for the limited places, coupled with timetabling constraints.

Due to the timetabling of our courses, all students joining the F-2-F SIC are required to take all subjects. If you are interested in taking fewer subjects, please feel free to check out our online courses.

We understand that circumstances can change and you may need to withdraw from the course.

We offer:
  • 100% refunds up until the 30th June
  • 50% refunds up until the 7th July
  • Unfortunately from the 8th July onwards we are unable to offer any refunds.


Please let us know as early as you if your child is unable to attend the course.

Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds/reduced rates for any absence during the course. We will, however, be able to provide all of the workbooks and resources for collection.

  • Year 4

    The Year 4 Summer Intensive Course is held Mon-Fri, ½ days. Each day comprises three 1-hour classes (Essay Writing, Maths, English Literature), with 10 minute breaks in between.

    Each student is allocated either the morning (9am-12.20pm) or afternoon (12.20pm-4pm) session; you will be asked for your preference for the morning/afternoon session on the booking form.

  • Year 5

    The Year 5 Summer Intensive Course comprises a full day, 09:00-16:00, from Mon-Fri of each week.

    Each day will include 1hr 20mins classes of each of the four subjects (English, Literacy, Maths, Problem Solving), along with an engaging, educational activity/challenge at the end of each day to encourage team-building and embrace healthy competition. The day will be broken up by two 15 minute breaks and 40 minutes for lunch.

We offer an early bird discount of 8% on both the Year 4 and Year 5 Summer Intensive Courses for full payments made before 1st March 2023!

We also offer an additional 5% sibling discount for any siblings booked onto an SIC course at the same time.

We offer a £60 referral credit for customers who refer someone new to Oxbridge to the SIC. The credit will apply to both the referring and the new customer. The credit will go towards the 2023 Academic Year tuition fees, on your return to Oxbridge Centre.

Just let us know the name of the referring customer, or the new customer being referred during booking, and we will take care of the rest!

Our students will require basic stationery (pen, pencil, rubber, ruler etc), a packed lunch (Year 5 only), water bottle, and enthusiasm to learn!

Please notify us if your child has any severe allergies, medical conditions, or any regular medications that we should be aware of prior to the start of the course so that necessary arrangements can be made.

As their daily homework, students will be required to complete their booklets for all four subjects, which will include an extended writing task for English.

The completed booklet is submitted the following day and will be marked by our marking team, along with individual feedback from our tutors. Our aim is to provide timely feedback in order to maximise learning and improvement during our course.

Markschemes will be available for you to review the course material with your child for 3 weeks after the end of the course.

Our Summer Intensive Course is aptly titled as we try to pack in as much as we can within the 3-weeks. In particular, our Year 5 Summer Intensive Course is held in the lead up to the 11+ entrance examinations and it is our duty to equip all of our students with the necessary tools needed to succeed. We understand that it is an intense workload, but from our years of experience, we recognise that the students who put in the most hard work are also those who gain the most from our course.

If your child is unable to complete all of the homework for the following day, we will still do our best to mark the completed work at a later date, but can not guarantee that it will be marked before the end of the course.

The timetable will be ready for you by 14th July.

After the payment deadline of 7th July, we will be providing assessment tasks for completion. These assessment tasks will inform class allocation. Throughout the course, OxBridge will monitor student performance, and make adjustments to classes where necessary.

More information about the assessment tasks will be provided in due course.

Online Course

Our Online Summer Intensive Course will take place between 24th July and 11th August 2023. The booking form will appear slightly different to our face-to-face course as it will be divided by week for you to select the desired weeks:

  • Week 1 : 24th - 28th July
  • Week 2 : 31st July - 4th August
  • Week 3 : 7th - 11th August

For our Online Summer Intensive Course, we are able to offer a lot of flexibility in the selection of weeks and/or subjects. Please ensure you select the subjects you would like to take and which weeks (1-3) you would like your child to participate in and we will do our best to accommodate your choices.

Classes do have have to be booked in complete weeks (Mon-Fri).

Classes will take place daily between 9am and 4.30pm. Students who take all courses, including VR/NVR, may be placed on an extended timetable as there is a lot to fit in!

Please note, however, that full 3 week bookings are given priority.

Please fill in the Online Summer Intensive Course Booking Form with your details and ensure you pay the £100 deposit, or full course payment (whichever is less) in order to be placed on a queue for our team to process your booking.

Your place will be confirmed by our team based on availability followed by complete payment by the 7th July 2023.

Our final deadline for payments is 23:59 on the 7th July. If we have not received full payment by this date, sadly we will not be able to offer you a place on the course.

Unfortunately, due to the collaborative and interactive nature of English Literature, we felt it was best placed in a classroom environment. If you are deciding between online and face-to-face courses, drop us an email and we would be happy to give you more information to help with your decision.

The Summer Intensive Course will operate much like our Regular Courses. We use a platform called ‘Big Blue Button’ to create virtual classrooms and the tutor is always visible on the screen along with the class material. There are various ways that our students can interact with the tutor and classmates; tutors and students can annotate the material with their mouse, there is an interactive poll feature, students can unmute their microphones to answer questions, or type in the live chat box.

You will get access to the online classroom via the online portal once your payment has been processed and the timetabling has been finalised.

For our Online Summer Intensive Course, we will be posting all learning materials to customers residing in the UK, prior to the course.

There will be set homework to be completed for each subject daily. The students are required to upload the completed homework by 07:59am the day after it has been set for our tutors to mark and return the following day.

Markschemes will be available for you to review the course material with your child for 3 weeks after the end of the course.

There is a 5% discount applied when booking 3 or more subjects. There is a 10% discount applied when booking 4 or more subjects.

Unfortunately there are no discounts available for the Year 4 online course.

We can only take bookings in weeks for the online Summer Intensive Course and can not offer refunds/reduced rates for any planned leave within the week that you have booked.

We will, however, be able to provide you with the workbooks so you don't miss out on the study material.

Please ensure your child has access to the correct workbook for the correct day and all necessary stationery (pencil, rubber, ruler). Calculators are not necessary for this course.

Our recommendations for the optimum experience would be:
  • Laptop with microphone, keyboard, mouse
  • Google Chrome web browser
  • Broadband internet connection
  • Printed daily class material
  • Basic stationery (pen, pencil, rubber, ruler etc)
  • Enthusiasm to learn!

The timetable will be ready for you by 14th July.

After the payment deadline of 7th July, we will be providing assessment tasks for completion. These assessment tasks will inform class allocation, though for online classes scheduling availability is prioritised. OxBridge will monitor student performance, and make adjustments to classes where necessary.

More information about the assessment tasks will be provided in due course.

We understand that circumstances can change and you may need to withdraw from the course.

We offer:
  • 100% refunds up until the 30th June
  • 50% refunds up until the 7th July
  • Unfortunately from the 8th July onwards we are unable to offer any refunds


Please let us know as early as you can if your child is unable to attend the course.

We will be sending out the workbooks for all Online Summer Intensive Courses and you should receive these by post no later than 14th July 2023.

If you have not received your workbooks by this date, please let us know and we will ensure these are sent out to you as soon as possible.

All we ask of you is that you check through all of workbooks and ensure you have received everything according to your course booking. Please ensure to check that your child has the correct workbook daily.
