EFL Department

Girls for whom English is not their first language are able to study towards external examinations which enable them to demonstrate their proficiency in academic English and which will help them to gain access to University .

Polam Hall employs highly qualified and experienced EFL staff whose expertise is greatly valued by the students. When girls first join the school they are supported by EFL teachers in the classroom as well as having discrete EFL tuition.

The girls work towards achieving a level 6.0 - 7.0 in the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Many achieve above this grade.

The School has an outstanding record of success in EFL examinations. All of our 2008 candidates gained at least the level required for entry to UK universities.
