The end of summer?

Phew! Summer’s over (the classes not the weather – we’re still waiting for the sunshine!). It was great to see some students from last year and all the new people too. So now it’s back to normal classes. We have morning, afternoon, evening and Saturday classes available, and of course, private lessons can be booked for IELTS and other specialist areas. We look forward to seeing you.

Summer School

Our summer schools are now running and it’s a busy (but enjoyable!) time for everyone. Some classes are full at the moment, but places often become available as not all of the students stay all summer. There are still two weeks left in the under-16’s classes if you want to squeeze in some summer education for the young ones. It might be more enjoyable than the rotten weather we’ve had so far this year! I’ll update you again soon.
