Senior Department English as an Additional Langauge
Trinity School
Back to Senior Subjects
Welcome to Senior EAL
The role of the EAL department is twofold: to improve pupils’ knowledge, skills
and confidence in the English language and to enable them to better access the rest
of their GCSE, AS or A2 curriculum in English through study skills and subject-related
support. To this end, we have a team of 3 qualified and experienced teachers who
have not only taught here in the U.K. but also overseas. Every year, we help around
70 – 80 students from many different nationalities to improve their English here
at Trinity School.
Topics & Aims/Objectives
We prepare pupils for a series of English exams which are recognised worldwide by
universities and employers.
University of Cambridge ESOL:
- KET (Key English Test)
- PET (Preliminary English Test)
- FCE (First
Certificate in English)
- CAE (Certificate in Advanced English)
- CPE (Certificate
in Proficiency in English)
- IGCSE (International GCSE in English as a Second
Language)
- IELTS (International English Language Testing System)
Extra Curricular
We take international students on day trips to a nearby town or city each half term.
As most of our students are boarders, they live in the school and can take part
in a wide range of social, sporting and cultural activities all year round – see
our
Boarding Department pages
for more details.
Exam Results
Each year, the majority of our students achieve their required grade in the Cambridge
ESOL qualifications, for example a C grade or above in their IGCSE or First Certificate
exams, or their required grade in the IELTS exam (usually 6 or above on the ascending
1-9 scale).
