It is indeed an honour and pleasure to be part of the Cambridge English

Schools project. This programme has led to a tremendous increase in the

level of language proficiency of both teachers and students at our school

and attracted new pupils and students to Cambridge English courses

organised at the school.

Becoming a Cambridge English

School is extremely attractive. The

students get to take Cambridge

English exams as part of the school

curriculum and the teachers have

the opportunity to be involved in

teacher training courses.

Children learn best when the

classes are fun and engaging. So

we design materials which help

teachers to capture their students’

interest and imagination. But those

materials are underpinned by

years of research into how children

learn English and what they need

to learn at each CEFR level.

I believe we have received the best support from the local Cambridge staff. One

thing that I really enjoy when working together is that everything that has

been offered is delivered to the highest standard of quality and professionalism,

besides working with very kind and friendly people. We have learnt a lot from

the Cambridge English team throughout this project.
