Our experienced EAL team ensures that students thrive academically and socially, equipping them with essential skills for success in both their studies and life in the UK.

EAL

At Queen’s College, EAL pupils in the senior school attend specialised EAL lessons in place of mainstream English or foreign language lessons unless a foreign language is already part of their studies. Using the Common European Framework (CEF) scales to monitor progress, pupils work on reading, writing, listening, and speaking through varied resources and methods. The EAL Faculty provides additional support and 1:1 tuition when needed and closely collaborates with subject teachers and the pastoral team to ensure EAL students can thrive in all parts of the curriculum.

Examinations

We provide tailored English qualifications to suit each student’s needs. Our standard programme includes IGCSE English as a Second Language in Year 11 and IELTS in the Sixth Form. For students with specific goals or requirements, we can also offer Cambridge English exams (B1, B2, C1, C2) or other relevant qualifications, ensuring each learner has the best pathway to success.
