At Loxdale, we strive to provide an extensive range of English language courses tailored for both teenagers and adults alike. Our language programmes are an effective way for you to learn and understand English using engaging educational materials with supportive teachers. We have highly trained teachers dedicated to delivering the best teaching experience possible, while giving students the freedom and resources needed to progress at their own pace. With our courses, you can gain proficient skills in speaking, reading, writing, and understanding English with ease!
We fully understand that in some countries, students aged 16 and 17 have a more flexible learning structure than in the UK, and that some would like to come to study on their own in the UK to re-ignite or fuel their thirst for learning English and discovering British culture. Whether for 2 weeks, 12 weeks, or 5 months, you are very welcome to come and study at Loxdale. At Loxdale, we go above and beyond when it comes to your welfare and care, so that you feel happy and relaxed in your learning environment and can eventually grow into a confident English speaker.
The welfare of our students is always the top priority here at Loxdale – regardless of their age or vulnerability. As per British law, 16- and 17-year-olds are categorised as children, which is why specific safety measures are taken during their studies with us. With high-quality learning materials available, and experienced teachers trained to offer support whenever necessary, we create an atmosphere that enables every student enrolled in any course offered by us to feel safe, welcome, and secure on their path towards fluency.
Take the first step towards reaching your language goals by choosing Loxdale – a place dedicated to providing supportive guidance through your journey in the world of English!
Issues to note or to think about are:
Are you allowing them to go into Brighton & Hove in their free time? What about in the evenings?
What curfew do you want to set your son/daughter. The School recommends 10pm but you can set your own, no later than 11.00pm. Don’t forget that in the UK, apart from the cinema and restaurants, everything else closes by 1830 each evening. They won’t be allowed into pubs or clubs that are open later.
What evening activities are they allowed to join in? Those with the School? Are they allowed to go into Brighton & Hove by themselves in the evenings?
If they are on trips with the School, can they have some independent free time?
Are they allowed to go to visit a friend or take a tour that means staying overnight
Have you told them what you have agreed with the School?
Loxdale English Centre will talk to your son/daughter on arrival and go through the policies we have so they know what rules we have. We will also inform their host of what has been agreed. If there is a problem with the student breaking any major rules or regularly not following the agreed terms, we will contact you so that you know and to discuss a solution.
If your child has any questions or ideas, they can meet us informally whenever they want. He/she will also meet us on a normal basis once a week to go through progress and any issues affecting them.
You can also take a look at our School Safeguarding Policies.
