Mission Statement

​Our school is a private education centre, which offers an alternative to large mainstream schools.

​Our aim is to provide an environment which is conducive to independent learning, based on blended learning; a place where students are engaged and inspired.

​

As a multi-denominational, co-educational school, we encourage all our students to achieve their full potential, both educationally and personally.

​

We do this by creating a caring and happy environment, where our dedicated teachers can give expert, individual attention to all students, across a wide range of subjects.

BTEC- No stressful exams

BTEC (Business and Technology Education Council) qualifications are vocational courses designed to provide practical, hands-on experience alongside theoretical knowledge. Ideal for students who prefer coursework over exams, BTECs cover a variety of sectors such as business, health and social care, engineering, and information technology. These qualifications are available at multiple levels and are respected by both universities and employers. BTEC students develop real-world skills, industry knowledge, and the confidence to step into their chosen careers or continue on to higher education. With a focus on employability and practical training, BTEC is an excellent pathway for future success.

IGCSE

At ESF Academy, we also offer tuition in a wide variety of (I)GCSE subjects.

 

We offer our learners a unique opportunity to choose subjects which they truly want to study, without the rigidity of most secondary school curricula.

 

Many schools insist that a Year 10 student must take five or more compulsory subjects, which would ordinarily limit a student’s options at GCSE.  We only recommend that students combine the standard two GCSE subjects that are seen as mandatory by future employers - Mathematics and English Language - alongside their other GCSE options.

A Level

The programme of AS level and A level is comprised of two year groups, Years 12 and 13.

​

Our students follow the Edexcel International A Level courses to prepare them for Higher Education and Universities around the world. In terms of a student's future career or university course, these are the two most important years of their entire education.

​Success at A level inevitably leads to offers of places at good universities and is essential for students who want to continue their education at university or college level when they finish school, but it is equally useful for those who wish to start a career immediately.

Ethos

Most schools restrict a student's choice of subjects by placing them into option blocks. At ESF Academy, we focus on providing the subjects which the students want to study.

​

We have hugely experienced teachers from a range of international backgrounds, who can inspire our students to perform beyond their expectations in very small classes, normally 1 to 10 or often fewer.
