School Foundation
Class Studying
The School Foundation course for 11-17 year olds prepares students for entry to the full curriculum. Dedicated sheltered Foundation classes allow students to move gradually into their year group. Students develop academic and everyday English, and are encouraged to use their newly acquired language in and out of the classroom. Students study grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading and writing. In addition, they also study the language of academic subjects such as Humanities, Science, Mathematics, Arts and Physical Education. Total tuition time is 26 hours per week. Minimum stay is 6 weeks.
Summer School (11-16 years)

Our summer school operates during the months of June, July and August. The main focus of this programme is for students to improve their English through fun activities. As well as General English, learners have opportunities to develop English through other disciplines like Art, Drama, Science, Maths and Geography. These are linked together by weekly projects such as water, space or nature and the Discover London academic excursion to museums, galleries and famous historical sites. An afternoon of sport is also included where students practise hand-eye co-ordination and undertake aerobic exercise, as well as sports such as football, basketball, volleyball and badminton. Minimum stay is 2 weeks. 25 hour programme (including academic excursion and English through sports).

Medical support is always available. We maintain very close supervision of students at all times, to ensure their safety and well-being and that they derive the maximum benefit from their course. Students are inducted on their first morning as to the school rules and are expected to follow them during the school day. Students are also offered additional activities one day a week after school and on Saturdays. These non-academic activities are a chance to relax, have fun and practise English with friends and staff. Students pay transport and entrance (approximately £10 for an evening activity and £30 for a Saturday excursion).
