Remove and 5th Form Curriculum

English as an Additional Language

All pupils for whom English is an additional language will start working toward the IGCSE ESL (International GCSE English as a Second Language), which they will take at the end of the Fifth Form. This examination is administered by Edexcel. C grade or above is a requirement of entry of many British universities.

Teaching is based on authentic texts and tasks with emphasis on communication combined with language acquisition needed for academic work in all subjects. Grammar and vocabulary are taught and explained thoroughly and the four language skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking are developed systematically.

Emphasis is placed on supporting learners in their linguistic needs with regard to the rest of the Mill Hill curriculum.
