IELTS

International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is an international standardised test of English language proficiency for non-native English language speakers. It is jointly managed by the British Council, IDP and Cambridge English.

Students who are studying A Level but do not yet have at least IELTS level  6.5 are required to take IELTS classes, which are delivered by our EFL teachers.

Students on our IELTS Programme will receive 6 x 45 minute (Year 12s) or 7 x 45 minute (Year 13s) lessons per week with specialist teachers, alongside 3 hours of dedicated prep a week.

Assessment

Padworth College will arrange for students to attend IELTS exams once a term, once students are judged to be in a good position to be able to get 6.5. Parents will be recharged for the cost of this test and the transport to the testing centre. If students wish to take the exam earlier than the college deems them ready, they may do so at their own cost. Testing will be completed at a UKVI testing centre to ensure that the test can be used for visa purposes.
