1. What students love about Kingsway.

We study our student feedback forms very carefully to learn what students like about Kingsway and what we could do better. People frequently praise the following:

• The friendly professionalism of the whole team.
• Lessons which are never boring thanks to our inspiring and engaging teachers.
• The Monday buffet when everyone can mingle & get to know everyone else.
• The cleanliness of the entire building – classrooms, public areas and toilets are often described as “immaculate”.
• The lovely, historic city of Worcester which is far away from congested tourist hot-spots.

2. Most popular courses 2019
Our two best sellers for this year ...
Number 1 : General Group GG22: https://www.kingsway-english.com/group-courses

Chosen by people who want to improve their speaking & listening skills in a group lesson & feel that 4.5 hours tuition/day is enough for them. Lessons finish at 15:00 daily. 
Number 2 : General Combination GC22:  https://www.kingsway-english.com/combination-courses 

Chosen by people who want to add some 1:1 lessons to a group course & finish at 15:00 daily. Anything is possible during the private lessons eg Business English, exam preparation or more speaking practice.

3. OET courses

The Occupational English Test is an English language test which doctors and nurses need to pass if they want to work in Britain. We have been providing OET courses for the past few years and we are also a test centre. See here for details of our intensive 6-week courses: https://kingsway-medical.com/oet-in-school/oet-exam-preparation The next one starts on 28th October 2019. If you have a potential source of doctors and nurses who would like to work in the UK please get in touch!

4. Summer School

This was the 7th year of our tiny summer school and the second in the lovely surroundings of RGS (Royal Grammar School) Springfield. Previously we had been in the main school but Springfield is smaller & feels like home. We have the entire house and grounds to ourselves and feel lucky to have such exceptional premises only 500 metres from Worcester city centre.

Key Points: We only accept individual teenagers under the age of 18. With an average of 25 students per week & 10 different nationalities, it’s a great place to make international friends. Our students have a genuine reason to speak English which is why they all make excellent progress. We are already accepting bookings for 2020 so see here for full details: https://www.kingsway-summer.com/ 

Family Courses: During the 4 weeks of summer school we can accept family bookings as long as the children are teenagers under 18. This year we had families from Russia, Croatia, Italy and Sweden & they all opted for different accommodation arrangements. Some families lived together and in others the teenagers lived in homestay whilst their parents stayed elsewhere. Anything is possible if it’s not left until the last moment (& even then we can normally manage to pull a rabbit out of the hat). See : https://www.kingsway-english.com/family-english-courses for more information.

5. English Plus Football

This was the first year of our EPF course which we ran in partnership with West Bromwich Albion, a Championship League club. Apparently the football coaching was outstanding! And a bonus for our international students was training with local native-English speaking teenagers. For details of next year’s programme: https://www.englishplusfootball.com - we're taking bookings already.
  

6. Christmas Social Programme (9th – 14th December)

This is a very special week of social activities which can be added on to any Kingsway course. For students who would like a unique cultural experience at the same time as their language course, please suggest this to them. There really is nothing else like it in the UK! https://www.kingsway-english.com/christmas-programme (Places are strictly limited)

7. Brexit!

I hate everything about Brexit but it has dominated our news for the past 3 years so there is no avoiding it. Whatever you read or hear about the political situation in the UK, I can assure you that life goes on as normal despite the headlines! As the pound plummets, it’s a good time to buy an English course in the UK!

Best wishes
