We took our students down to the Foreshore in the afternoon to let them experience how Shrove Tuesday is celebrated in the traditional Scarborough way – skipping on the beach. It is believed that its origins lie in the local fishermen sorting their ropes and nets out at this time of year – they would give the children the ones which were no good for fishing. An afternoon of physical exertion was finished off with some well-earned fish'n'chips on the seafront.

“I believe that an experience in another country is something that can change your outlook on life. Studying English in Scarborough I learnt to stay in a country different from where I was used to, I met different people and learnt about different lifestyles.”
“I can say that this experience has changed my life; thank you Scarborough International School!”

“Everything was great; Scarborough in the whole and the school itself. Especially the people at school. In comparison with one of London’s schools (where I spent learning English three weeks as well) they are much more friendly and ready to help with any questions. Thanks to Scarborough International School everyone in my family, including my husband and three kids improved their English significantly and more over we had fun! Thank you once again!”
