Leweston is the perfect environment for an immersive English experience. We welcome students from a broad range of countries for whom English is an Additional Language (EAL).
Whilst a child is here they receive expert teaching and attentive pastoral care. As well as achieving exceptional grades in Cambridge proficiency exams we also seek to broaden their awareness of cultural experiences and values throughout the core curriculum. As the Director of International Students I will oversee the placement, teaching and care of all international students. Guiding teachers and students to deliver and develop learning.
The EAL classroom at Leweston School is a thriving, holistic learning environment that provides international students with all the linguistic tools that they need to immerse themselves fully into school life. In the lower years students are assessed and then work through the Cambridge Pass Trinity scheme of work or similar depending on their requirements. In Years 9 and 10 students are preparing for their Cambridge proficiency tests such as B1, B2 and even C1 which is tested locally.
In Year 11 there is a more flexible approach so that students can focus on developing their language skills for other subjects. Support is given throughout and themed lessons have been created to help across the curriculum.
At Sixth Form we prepare students for their International English Language Testing System exam (IELTs) that will be taken in Year 13. This exam is extremely important for those students wishing to apply to top universities.
Additional EAL support is available for those students wishing to improve further or in a weaker area that has been noted by teaching staff. These lessons are tailored to the individuals needs and are usually 1:1 based.
I have already brought into the school additional Chinese support for those students taking Native language A levels and hope to build up a strong network of other languages

Exceptional Results
Leweston has a proven track record of producing high-achieving students year after year who go onto a diverse range of universities and courses. Personalised support and guidance from the dedicated Director of International Students as well as the tutoring team ensures that students achieve their full potential.
Skills for Life
Studying at a UK boarding school can offer a unique blend of academic excellence, personal development, and a structured environment, preparing students for university and beyond, with opportunities for independence, diverse extracurricular activities, and a strong sense of community.
Cultural Enrichment and Activities
At Leweston we believe that learning takes place outside the classroom as well as inside it. That's why we offer a wide ranging of exciting clubs, activities and enrichment experiences that will broaden learning and allow students to make new friends.

Take the next step
Whilst all families are welcome to come and visit Leweston this can be more difficult for those overseas. The Headmaster, Mr Paget-Tomlinson, is happy to meet parents and pupils online to answer questions and talk more about the opportunities Leweston offers.
