ESOL tuition

ESOL falls under the umbrella of the Learning Centre. ESOL students are boys for whom English is a second language and they need help with vocabulary, grammar and writing skills. The level of English varies significantly with some just needing help with colloquial English, while others are at a more elementary level.

Mrs Helen Butterfield, ESOL teacher says, “These boys not only have difficulties with the new language, but also with a new culture, especially the boarders. This means there is also a significant pastoral care element to this work. These students are taken individually or in small groups, several times a week, depending on their level of need.’’
