Learning Enrichment

Learning Enrichment provides specialist tuition in small groups and individual support. There is also a clinic that can be attended on a dropin basis. Support is offered for the learning journey from GCSE through to the completion of A-levels to set habits and practise the skills needed for A-level studies and beyond. This includes organising for learning, reading and responding, using wider reading, taking notes and critical thinking.

Why study English as an Additional Language (EAL) in the Sixth Form?

If a student would like to improve their English skills, or if they require a further English qualification to study an undergraduate course at university, we prepare them for the International English Testing System (IELTS Academic Test). We provide an interesting and bespoke programme for our EAL pupils focusing on communicating effectively in all the four skills, using grammar structures accurately and being able to use advanced and idiomatic expressions, and vocabulary confidently. As the program is unique to the individual, we can offer just the correct variety and amount of practice in the skills needed for each student. In addition to this, we offer help in planning, drafting and writing extended essays, writing under timed conditions, and investigating a range of different revision techniques to support other curriculum areas.
