Saturday School

Saturday School


There are Saturday Schools on both sites of the school, Tafira and South, which provide formal, structured classes on Saturday mornings to students from the age of 4 to 18. Qualified, English speaking staff deliver the classes with students following a progressive curriculum, building skills, understanding and confidence, which can lead to the prestigious Cambridge ESL exams.

Tafira


The Saturday School programme in Tafira provides a challenging opportunity for children to spend their Saturday mornings immersed in an English-speaking environment, learning this important, internationally recognised language.

Each Saturday the children participate in three structured English lessons that include speaking, listening, reading, writing and grammar activities, to build their linguistic skills. Every Saturday the students also participate in fun activity sessions that allow them to use their English language skills whilst enjoying diverse activities such as cooking, art, sports, music and computer skills.

Our students are prepared for, and have the opportunity to sit for the prestigious Cambridge ESL exams. This English qualification has international recognition and prestige, evaluating skills that will last a lifetime. 

We have a school bus service with a variety of routes that collect from many parts of the island. Transport is included in the course fees.
