An ESOL course is for you if English is not your first language and you want to improve your speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Our ESOL classes use varied activities and resources to make learning interesting and relevant.

The focus of ESOL classes is to:

• Equip you to participate in daily life in Britain – talk to your neighbours, organise transport, go shopping, visit a doctor or talk to teachers in schools
• Give you employability/enterprise skills particularly CV writing and interview skills
• Teach you about British culture, democracy, the rule of law, equality and diversity and sustainable living

You will need to come along for ​​an assessment to make sure we refer you to the right class for your level of English.

ESOL students – please bring your passport, National Insurance Number and proof of address with you.​
