IELTS (International English Language Testing System)
This is the preferred English language qualification for most UK universities. IELTS preparation lessons are available for students who require support with academic English and university language entry requirements. The course focuses on developing the academic reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills needed for Sixth Form study, alongside preparation for the IELTS qualification.
The specialist EAL team will assess each student’s level of English and recommend an appropriate package of support to work towards the examination in June. This will typically include small-group IELTS lessons, with additional individual or small-group support provided where required. Students who need continued support may also continue into Year 13.
Standard IELTS lessons are charged at the published group lesson rate. Where students require additional 1:1 or extra small group sessions, these will incur additional charges. Any additional provision will always be discussed and agreed in consultation with parents and carers.
Further details regarding course structure, recommended levels of support, and associated fees are available on request.
