Liked
The school is super central and can be reached from all locations, it is also relatively small, has about 8 teachers and is therefore very family-oriented. There is an extra emergency number, a break room that is used by all students (incl. table football and table tennis) and the secretaries take great care of the well-being and coping of the students. Afternoon activities are always voluntary and a lot of fun! Including jazz pubs, comedy nights, films, laser tag and much more. I recommend it recommend!!! I was there for 4 weeks.
Disliked
The only thing I noticed, which is common practice in every school in the world, is that the classes can be sluggish at times and the classrooms are cold in the winter. Still 9.9/10 stars!

The location was very good. The afternoon activities I enjoyed and I did three of the activities.
Disliked
I think the price of the course is very expensive because I expected more hours of English. And the level of English was very bad.
Insider tip: They need to participate in the activities. They need to know the village.
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: I need more grammar and other way to focus the grammar class. I expected more hours of English.

Questions and answers about Bayswater

  • Yes, the price we show on the website for the family programme already includes the cost of the two courses, junior and adult.
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 21, 2023
  • When we receive your booking, the school checks that there are places available for the dates indicated, both on the course and in the accommodation you have chosen. If there is availability, we send you the corresponding invoices by email one or two days later.

    Once you receive this email with the invoices, the payment information you have provided is used to collect the initial prepayment. The room is then reserved for you until two weeks before your arrival. This email will tell you how and when to make the remaining payment. The school must receive confirmation of payment at least two weeks before your arrival. If they do not receive it, they will cancel the accommodation to avoid penalties. If payment is received on time, the booking is confirmed and the final confirmation is issued.

    Once you have paid all the money, the school reserves the room definitively. However, the accommodation details are not sent until one week before the start of the course.
