Padworth Preparation Progamme

Our Padworth Preparation Programme prepares students for greater success in their further studies. The Programme consists of intensive English language tuition and study skills support for international students who need to improve their English before enrolling on our GCSE, A Level and NCUK International Foundation Year courses.

Developed in conjunction with Bishopstrow College, this programme will prepare students to deal with the cognitive and linguistic demands of further study. The programme provides a bespoke approach to the integration of subject syllabus and language, including individual learning plans for each student.

Dependent on their level of English language and academic ability, the Padworth Preparation Programme can be taught for one, two or three terms, before moving onto their further studies.

The Padworth Preparation Programme will be assessed through regular internal assessments and tracking, resulting in a certificate of completion.
