Kilve Court is a Georgian Country House with modern extensions, situated in 40 acres of wooded grounds and gardens, at the foot of the Quantock Hills and one mile from the sea.
Purchased by Somerset County Council in 1962 as a Youth Centre, Kilve has been developed over the years as a Residential Education Centre.
Kilve Court’s position between the hills and the coast provides excellent opportunities for a vast range of outdoor and academic activities.
Bedroom areas are fitted with electronic keypads to provide restricted access.
Accommodation for up to 90 in rooms comprising 2, 3, 4, 6, or 7 beds. Showers and toilets are organised for each group of bedrooms.
Three main meals per day cooked onsite by our fabulous cooks.
Whether a first night away from home as a seasoned Kilvite, each visit to any one of our Centres will challenge and embrace your uniqueness.
The cost of the course is £144 per child which includes accommodation, meals, tuition, materials and equipment, and covers the period from 5.30pm Friday until Sunday afternoon. The course is structured to give a demanding and intensive period of study and is designed for children who have an enquiring mind, thrive on learning, enjoy creativity, welcome an academic challenge and wish to widen their horizons beyond that of the National Curriculum.
About the Young Songwriter Course....
Write and record a song in a weekend!
Participants will decide on a theme to write about, write and record lyrics in groups, compose melody lines and make choices on the backing music for their song. As a group they decide with how they would like their song to sound, what kind of instruments to have and whether they would like to record themselves singing, rapping or speaking their lyrics. There may be time to record more that one song over the course of the weekend.
Children will be able to design CD artwork, a poster and tickets for their performance to parents on Sunday afternoon. Song(s) will also be available to download for free from iTunes or the Soundcloud website!
For young people aged 11 12 and 13, this course is a great way to meet new friends, participate in a fun, educational activity and create something unique to you...
