Our story
Run by parents, built on years of experience
We are parents ourselves. After many years working as a local organiser for tour operators, we saw where student programmes fall short, and we built Seamoor to do better.
Many operators hire school buildings for a few weeks a year, and that cost often comes out of the course itself. Seamoor has its own schools, fully set up for teaching and looked after all year round, so more of every booking goes into teaching, trips and care.
Our programmes
English lessons each morning and excursions each afternoon. These are example programmes, and we are happy to tailor them for your group.
One week
English & Excursions
Lessons, roleplay and workshops in Ashcott, with coach trips to Bath, London, Wells, Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge.
Two weeks
Study Holiday
A placement test, lessons in small groups by level, weekends with the host family and excursions from Glastonbury to Cardiff.
Peace of mind
Your child's safety comes first
Sending a child abroad is a big decision. These are the standards we hold ourselves to, on every course.
Qualified teachers
Every lesson is taught by a fully qualified TEFL teacher, with a certificate at the end of the course.
Vetted staff
All staff and excursion guides are vetted and police checked.
Supervised excursions
At least three guides accompany every afternoon and full-day trip.
Checked host families
We visit every home in person and introduce the family to you before the trip.
