New Brighton school for Stafford House School of English!

We are proud to announce the opening of our new school - Stafford House School of English Brighton - on 23 April 2012.

The new school, which is just a few hundred metres from Brighton’s beachfront and ten minutes stroll from the city centre, will bring superb teaching, service and facilities to one of the UK's most popular destinations.

This now brings the number of Schools under the Stafford House School of English brand to three – following last year’s opening of our school in central London, in addition to a complete refurbishment of our original school in Canterbury.

Director of Stafford House School of English, Stephan Roussounis, says: “We have been investing heavily in our Adult English Language business for some time, opening a premium quality language school in London and completely refurbishing our original centre in Canterbury.

"Following the hugely positive and valued feedback from our students and partners, we have decided to bring Stafford House to Brighton - the UK’s third most popular English language destination.

"We are confident that we will be offering the best English language experience in Brighton. All of our classrooms will feature Interactive Whiteboard technology and all of our teachers will hold the prestigious DELTA qualification. Our school is located in a chic and convenient location, surrounded by shops, cafés and restaurants, just a stone’s throw from Brighton’s famous seafront."

Explore Your English

One of the fantastic things about having a new school in Central London is being able to try new things! Award-winning author and teacher trainer Luke Meddings came to give our staff some training in September and enjoyed the atmosphere of the school so much that he wanted to try out some of his teaching methods at our school.

Getting to know each other



Comparing ideas/ chosing a topic

"Explore Your English" is the name of Luke's weekly class- a free extra class for students and teachers- based on conversation with both students and native speakers. The class does not use text books and draws upon the participants' experiences and personal opinions to focus on the language they need to express their ideas.




Talking about the social programme



This weekly class is an extra hour a week, available to all students at Stafford House. The emphasis on practical English that they might hear or use whilst studying in London has been particularly appreciated by the students. Students have also commented that "it's great to chose what we will talk about" and "it's a relaxing class with real conversation- it's great to meet students from other classes and get to know them".

For our teachers, it has also been great to see the ideas of "teaching unplugged" put into action and to discuss and reflect on the lessons afterwards. We look forward to the continuation of these fantastic classes and a big "thank you" to Luke for choosing Stafford House to do his teaching practice.
