             The 
              English 16+ course combines 
            
              - study of 
                English language, with specialist teachers
 
              - subject studies, 
                taught in English, with an emphasis on language development.
 
             
            Teachers of 
              subject studies are qualified in teaching English as a foreign language, 
              or experienced in teaching non-native speakers.

              - Students 
                requiring extra English language support may have an additional 
                4 hours per week.
 
              - Subject studies 
                concentrate on English language and general academic skills.
 
              - Students 
                are expected to take part in the College's activities programme. 
                This helps to develop English language outside the classroom.
 
              - Students 
                may transfer to the International Baccalaureate Preparatory Course 
                (Pre-IB) if their English language improves. On this course, students 
                take additional subject studies in English, and have fewer class 
                hours in English language.
