I have also included all the key dates and information you will need in preparation for exam results. I hope you enjoy a relaxing summer break and I will be in touch prior to the results days in August with key reminders.
As ever, you can contact me via the details at the bottom of this page and I’ll be happy to support with your questions related to our qualifications.
Best wishes,

Taking the student centred approach real and relatable role play scenarios
Practical vocabulary empowers students to navigate everyday interactions. To get you started, we’ve identified a selection of relatable scenarios your students may encounter. From important interactions such as requesting medical help, to social situations with friends, these activities have been designed to offer conversations that students can relate to, and easily immerse themselves in. By focusing on relevant vocabulary, we’re not just teaching words – we’re equipping them with the tools and confidence to thrive in the real world.
Celebrating a summer of sport
This summer will see multiple international sporting events, capturing the gaze of millions across the globe.
What better way to inspire learning a new language than preparing to speak to tourists, athletes and fans, discussing what to see, who you are, as well as celebrating and making friends.
To celebrate a summer of sport, we’ve built a selection of fun games and classroom activities for you to try with your students.
