Greenfields School – English as a Foreign Language Programme

All-Round English as a Foreign Language Long-Term Programme

Do You Want Your Child to Benefit From an Effective British Education?

The Greenfields English as a Foreign Language Long-term Programme:

• covers ages 6 to 18
• uses the Cambridge Global Curriculum
• accepts students from all over the world
• teaches speakers of other languages enough English to be able to comfortably integrate into the mainstream school and to continue their education in English
• is probably unique in the UK as it offers long-term EFL courses throughout the year.

Students can arrive, singly or in groups, throughout the calendar year and learn English at a level appropriate to their individual needs, staying with the school in Boarding and progressing through to an English education in other subjects.

Upon arrival a student’s level of English is assessed and a personalised programme is worked out according to their ability and age.

Unlike other schools, we do not believe that foreign language students who do not speak enough English can be placed in class and left ‘to cope’, hoping that they will be fine. We teach them English first.

Graduates from the Greenfields EFL Programme are able to follow lessons in other subjects without being held back by their level of English. They improve their skills and interact with other students in other subjects when ready, including:

• Maths
• Sport
• ICT
• Art

Junior EFL (age 7 to 11)

The Junior School operates a programme for students whose native language is not English using the Cambridge Global English curriculum.

Children normally begin this programme in Year 3 and cover a wide range of topics over the next three years including ‘The Big Sky’, ‘Let’s Count’, ‘Inside and Outside Cities’, ‘Families and Memories’, ‘Puzzles and Codes’, ‘Our Amazing Body’, ‘Stories’, ‘Famous People’ and many more.
