Welcome to Sixth Form 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 A-level 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.
The Sixth Form EAL students recently went on a trip to Bath - read about their
experiences here and

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).
