Welcome to
Shrewsbury Education Service

Shrewsbury Education Service organises programmes of English for speakers of other languages complemented by High School courses leading to A Level and professional qualifications for university entrance.

Shrewsbury Education Service was established in 1996 to provide a distinctive and personal option for education in England. Our mission is to provide comprehensive learning programmes through the medium of English which enable each individual student to fulfil his or her academic and linguistic potential and to develop into a confident and responsible young adult, equipped for life in the 21st Century.

Each student’s personal learning programme is organised by Alan Fox in collaboration with the teaching staff in the relevant colleges. Alan Fox has over twenty years’ experience as a teacher and lecturer of Modern Languages in England, France and Germany. Furthermore he was formerly a peripatetic languages teacher in the County of Shropshire and consequently enjoys excellent relations with many schools in the area. During the programme he acts as a constant point of support for students and teachers, ensuring maximum success for each individual.

Our Programme

Shrewsbury Education Service provides AS and A Level courses in selected Sixth Form Colleges and delivers specialised programmes in English as a Foreign Language. Our Sixth Form Colleges, in the beautiful county of Shropshire, in Central England, are distinguished by their high academic achievement and outstanding facilities, often in historic buildings and in idyllic settings. Throughout the programme we are constantly active on behalf of our students, the teaching staff and parents, fostering a sense of partnership amongst them and providing the support which is necessary for academic and personal success.

Our provision has flourished over the years through the achievements of the many foreign students who have entrusted our staff not only with their educational needs but also with their individual development. Our students regularly attain high levels of success in their chosen education field as well as in their chosen extra curricular pursuits. A lot of former students have obtained places at top British universities including Oxford and Cambridge, while others have chosen to return to their home countries to embark upon their university education. In addition, a number of past students have also progressed to represent their countries in sport or have excelled in music and drama.
