The EFL department prepares students for several internationally recognised examinations:

UCLES/British Council IELTS
International English Language Testing System - Academic Module

UCLES IGCSE in ESL
International GCSE in English as a Second Language (Extended Curriculum)

Students who do not have English as their first language are made aware that a recognised English Language qualification is an exntrance requirement for most colleges and universities in the United Kingdom. The IELTS Academic Module and IGCSE in English as a Second Language fulfil this requirement and provide an alternative to GCSE English Language, which can often prove difficult for non-native English speakers. Every effort is made to provide each student with a suitable English qualification by the time they leave the school.
