Our ESOL (English for speakers of other languages) courses are for learners who live in the UK and need English for work and daily life. The courses will build your confidence and fluency in English so that you can talk to neighbours, teachers and doctors, go shopping, and use local amenities. You will also learn basic employability and enterprise skills such as writing a simple CV or completing an application form.
We have courses from Entry Level 2 to Level 2 (equivalent to GCSE). All the courses will improve your listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
Join our school events Throughout the year, we hold a number of fun events for past and present students. The events, which include things like barbecues and restaurant meals, are a great way to make new friends and catch up with former classmates.
