State School Placement

A state school placement is the best way for young students to enjoy a totally immersive British cultural experience. inlingua Cheltenham is proud to offer this opportunity for international students aged 11-18 to understand what it’s like to live like a British teenager. This affordable alternative to private schools is a great option for students.

We work with a number of local schools who are happy to accept international students to join their classes. If a student has proficient English, they will be placed into a classroom with British pupils.
This course is for students from the ages of 11-18. Students aged 11-16 will join the school year for their age and will study up to 12 subjects a week. This will be taught in English, and the student will be in a class with mostly British students. Students aged 16-18 will join A-level classes, where they will study 3 or 4 subjects in depth.

Please note that State Schools in the Cheltenham area are predominately British schools and therefore make no provision for international students and will not have EFL support classes. We recommend that if a student is not up to an intermediate level of English (B1), then a period of EFL classes with inlingua Cheltenham should be completed first.

State schools in the UK run a three-term year. Terms start in September, January and April. Students can enrol in this course from one week all the way up to two terms. Start dates are entirely flexible.
We will arrange accommodation that best suits the needs of the student. The host families we provide for state school students have great experience helping teenagers adjust to life in the UK. Cheltenham is a particularly safe, clean and pleasant town. Parents should be assured that their children are in good hands. We can also arrange a guardian as a service for an additional charge.

The schools we work with are located in and around Cheltenham. Because availability is limited and dependant on each school’s provisions, we cannot guarantee placement in a particular school. Once we have received a student profile, we will contact local schools and present our best recommendation to the student.

School holidays and breaks:

inlingua Cheltenham is happy to provide a term break programme for students 11-17 who are studying in local state or private schools. As part of this programme, students will enjoy a week of lessons, activities, and trips to local destinations.

During this programme, students will be encouraged to review their studies and continue their English improvement. In addition to this, students will enjoy a more relaxed schedule of fun and leisure. The purpose of this programme is to provide students with something productive to do while they are not in school. As part of this experience, students will mix with other junior students of different nationalities, allowing them to make even more friends during their studies.

Students who wish to do more intensive studying can also arrange a private tutor as an additional service to the School Holiday Programme.
