ENGLISH AS AN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE

Head of Department: Mrs M Bruce

Overseas students are well catered for at St George's. English is taught in a relaxed environment on an individual basis or in very small groups. Students for the most part study the full curriculum, but some may take a reduced number of subjects at GCSE level in order to concentrate on their English. They may be entered for external English examinations in situations where GCSE English is inappropriate for them, or where their particular English qualification is not recognised by a university. These examinations include: The Cambridge First Certificate (FCE) and The International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Every effort is made to integrate the students into all areas of school life so that they feel it has been a very valuable experience by the time they are ready to leave.
