Course Aims

These courses help you develop:

Demonstrating Progress

We regularly evaluate your progress through continuous assessment.  Each seventeen-week semester features assessed activities and after each assessment you will reflect on how you performed.

You will get a report on your progress at the end of each semester if you have attended 75% of classes. Our observations on learning progress and strengths during assessments help inform our comments and the grades we award for listening, speaking, reading, writing, and effort/participation.

Working in Partnership

We understand that parents want to be involved in and support your learning. To this end we have created an outline of  the Download PDF Document roles and responsibilities of all those involved in the learning process.

SEN (Specific Educational Needs)

We are committed to providing an inclusive learning environment in which students are supported to achieve their potential in a spirit of inclusion and acceptance. We value the abilities and achievements of all our students and recognise that parents hold key information and knowledge of their child.

We request parents to inform us of any specific educational (or medical) needs before registration.  

Placement test and counselling

A placement test will be required for new students before registration in order to determine their English level. A course counsellor will then help select the course most suited to their English level. Test results are valid for six months.
