Established in 1976, SIS is an independent, family run English language school in the centre of the town. We are open all year, with separate departments for adults and teenagers (14 – 17 years) and have vacation courses for juniors (8 – 13 years) at Easter and in the summer. We are also a teacher-training centre for the Trinity College Cert TESOL and a Cambridge exam centre.

We offer:
· Quality teaching – all our teachers have appropriate qualifications recognised by the British Council. You will have lessons with different teachers working together to make your course as interesting and useful as possible
· Good nationality mix – we have students from over 35 different countries every year. We really are an international school and hope you will enjoy learning English in a lively and friendly atmosphere
· Interesting social programmes – there are separate social programmes for junior, teenage and adult students and include a full-day and half-day excursion every week
· Welcoming homestay families – we can guarantee no other students of the same nationality, no mixing of adult, teenage and junior students. All our families are regularly inspected by the school and those taking students under 18 years old have additional child protection checks with government agencies
· Details of self- catering accommodation, hotels, guest houses and Bed & Breakfast

We work as a team for you the individual. We look after you from the beginning (when you first contact us) all the way through your stay.
Free transfers from/to London Heathrow Airport are available every Saturday with an escort service for younger students.
