Country Cousins Ltd

Country Cousins is the only English Language School in the World with a BRITISH COUNCIL AWARD OF EXCELLENCE. We are a specialist Juniors English School located in North Devon on the coast of South West of England. We are a family business established in 1951.

In 2014, we won the British Council's ELTon award for Local Innovation. This was for our PALS scheme (Promoting acceptance of Language Students). The judges said: “A worthy project that is very effective”. We integrate local teenagers in our activities with our foreign students, it has proved very successful.  

We are between Exmoor National Park and Woolacombe beach (voted best beach in the UK by Tripadvisor for the last 5 years). This is a friendly and safe environment for children to enjoy our many activity programmes by the seaside; such as Adventure Sports, Riding, Tennis, Scuba Diving, Beach Volleyball, Sea Water Sports & Surfing.  

We have a school open all year, and also run a summer residential.
