Our range of class rooms, computer rooms, lecture theatres and halls all offer state of the art AV in modern well furnished rooms.
Sports Facilities
We have a huge range of top class sports facilities including regional centres of excellence in athletics, tennis and gymnastics. Summer school students can access some of the best facilities in the country, the same facilities that have been used to train Olympic champions.
Our facilities include sports halls, gyms, a 20-metre swimming pool, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, basketball courts, squash courts, astroturf pitches, sports fields and a running track.

We can provide fully furnished and equipped office spaces for you to use to manage your programme of events. We also have a range of spaces that can be used as staff common rooms.
Why Leeds?
Leeds is a great base, easily accessible by road, train or air and you'll have a number of attractions right on your doorstep. Our Headingley Campus is particularly suitable for summer schools as it is a self-contained student village with all the facilities and services you would need in one place.
Event Management
Our experienced event managers have hosted many summer schools over the years and have the right knowledge and skill set to ensure a successful outcome every time. To take the stress and strain out of what could be a challenging experience for the event organiser you will be provided with a dedicated event manager who will act as a single point-of-contact and help you throughout the whole process from responding to the initial enquiry to the post-event briefing ensuring that all aspects of your summer school run smoothly and successfully.
