"I spent a great time."

Joëlle , student from Switzerland

My class mates changed every week, so i could make many new friends. The teachers were very friendly and helpful. The school is small and lovely. I loved the table tennis table and the lunch room very much. We had every day a different social activity for everybody under 16 years. I never liked to go to school activities except there. My host mother cooked very unhealthy and I had not much space but she was friendly.

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from . Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 37 when you register.
