English lessons take place in small classes with a maximum of 12 students per class. Classes are offered at Elementary, Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate levels. Lessons cover all areas of general English including reading, writing, speaking and listening. The focus of the lessons is communication skills and improving speaking and listening particularly for travel and socialising.
One-to-one lessons in general and business English are available at extra cost.
In the afternoons, there is a programme of optional social and leisure activities including at least 2 trips during the week (for example Spa visit, historic Chester, English traditional Afternoon Tea, Shrewsbury, Llangollen, river boat trip, pub lunch). Other activities take place at school and include use of the swimming pool, tennis courts, fitness suite and sports hall. The programme may also include cookery, jewellery and accessories party, fashion workshop, yoga and Pilates, arts and crafts, fitness class, etc. Children may join their parents for some of the afternoon activities and trips.
At weekends parents and children go on cultural and shopping excursions together. Destinations may include Liverpool, Beatles Museum, Art Galleries, Manchester (with visit to Manchester United), North Wales coast and castles.
Evening activities for parents are offered 3-4 times per week and may include lectures, debates and discussion groups, trip to a local pub, bowling, canal walk, cocktail party, cheese and wine evening.

English is taught in small groups according to ability. There are 15 hours of tuition every week. Lessons are taught in a fun way, while still focusing on developing the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. The lessons are interactive with video and film clips used to make the lessons less formal and more stimulating.
