International Students

Monmouth Schools Sixth Form is home to pupils from countries across the world, such as Russia, Spain, Hong Kony and Kuwait. We value every pupil that attends the school and we are proud of our international mix, which enriches school life immeasurably.

We arrange a number of social events throughout the academic year and students love discovering new cultures and traditions. For those that do not have English as their first language, we have a passionate team on hand to help deliver support and tailored courses.

Sixth Form Foundation Year EAL Provision (SFFY)

This programme allows students from outside the UK to complete IGCSE courses in one year and then proceed to study A Levels or the IB in the UK. Depending on their age and level of English, students can take up to 6 IGCSE subjects in a year. The Cambridge IGCSE in English as a Second Language (B2 Level +) Syllabus 0991 will be taught over 8 periods of 35 minutes per week.

Sixth Form EAL Provision (Years 12 – 13)

Those students who hope to enter UK Higher Education will follow the IELTS course in Year 12 and will sit the test, normally, at the end of Year 12. This is a diagnostic test of Academic English and is also recognised by Australian universities and many in the US.

Individual bespoke lessons are often arranged for specific A Level subject support, if required and/or assistance with UCAS applications.
