Check language and learning provision by campus
Before applying, explain the child’s English level and share any learning assessments with admissions. Ask for the support available in the intended programme, how it fits the timetable and whether it costs extra. The reviewed application and fee pages do not establish a single support package or specialist capacity across every campus and age group.
