ESOL

Our ESOL course is suitable for young people who are new to the country or have been living in the UK for a short while and for whom English is a second or additional language.

Following our City & Guilds ESOL Skills for Life programme, students can work from Entry 1 to a Level 2 qualification. Focus is on developing their Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening skills. The ASDAN Diploma in Personal Progress qualification is also available to enable some students to access the ESOL Skills for Life Course at a more appropriate time. Additional qualifications are delivered in Functional Skills maths and ICT at all levels.

Enrichment activities encourage our students to learn more about the UK through visits to places of interests such as museums and well known UK landmarks. Cultural walks and trips to the coast and into the country are also well received. Sporting and performing arts activities help build confidence, team work skills and encourage an interest and participation in the local community.

Introduction to UK Living

Students undertook a historical tour of London, visiting Westminster Abbey, Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, Kew Gardens and saw the changing of the Guard. They learnt about the historical past of each location and went onto investigating modern London.

Students took a trip along the South Bank visiting Tate Modern where they researched ideas for an art project they completed in class. Kew Gardens was enjoyed by all and students loved the vibrant atmosphere of Borough Market where they sampled food and drink from the stalls.

These trips help the students with travel planning, team working and communication skills. They can immerse themselves in new cultures and exciting experiences that support their ability to feel settled.

Enrichment

One of the fun and satisfying aspects about teaching ESOL students, is showing them the sights and places of interest around London and also exchanging ideas about our customs with theirs. From Christmas decorations and pancake races to pumpkin lanterns and Red nose day, we have enjoyed them all. We have also teamed with the Attic Theatre Company for drama workshops to further develop language skills and to enhance confidence building.

Whatever subject or level, young people are offered one-to-one support or work in small groups with teachers. We also offer support with applying for university or college and can help with applications and CVs. As a result of COVID we have also developed online one-to-one support sessions which we are continuing at the moment.

Young refugees who we work with have come from a variety of backgrounds, some have had some education before arriving in the UK and others may have never been to school at all. In our Learning Space they have a chance to catch up if they have missed education due to fleeing their home country or language barriers and can learn more about the UK education system.

Learning Space has become one of the most successful outcomes of our Global Social Club's youth-led approach, created in direct response to requests of our young members.

Our relaxed space is a chance for young people to bring their homework, prepare for exams and learn in addition to their regular education they receive at school or college. If young people have a specific learning interest they want to take further, our educational team can support them to find ways to do this.

Lewes Refugee Support has a network of trained volunteers who support the families and individuals who have settled in the Lewes District as part of the government’s Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme, or who have arrived by other means.

The volunteers provide ongoing help and support in myriad different ways according to need. Settling into a new country and adjusting to its culture and systems can be hugely demanding. We provide ESOL and subject-based tutoring for school children (Maths and English are often a priority) and help with the everyday challenges of a new life.

Through our links with other relevant local statutory and non-statutory bodies we are able to signpost people when they need help with negotiating housing, benefits, health care, etc.
