Pay less than booking at the school
What we like about the school
  • Beautiful campus less than 10 minutes from the beach
  • New year-round residence close to the school
  • Learning progress guarantee.
What we dislike about the school
  • Lessons are 45 minutes long, which is shorter than in other schools.

Position in Bournemouth: Kings in Bournemouth is to the north of the city, close to Meyrick Park. The area is a quiet residential part of Bournemouth with a small number of local shops.

Getting around: Bournemouth Train Station is a 15-minute walk from the school entrance. At this station there are lines to local towns and cities as well as to London. The centre of the city is 20 minutes by foot or by public transportation. There are a number of bus stops around the school for navigating the whole of Bournemouth.

Main city features: Bournemouth is known for its beach by both travellers and locals. From the school it is possible to reach the pier in around 30 minutes. Once students have reached the centre of the city, they can jump on a bus that reaches the beach in less than five minutes.

Course: Kings has compact and intensive courses for those wanting to learn general English. The school offers both exam preparation courses for both the IELTS and the Cambridge exams for those who need this for higher education or to enter the workforce. There is a diploma course, a foundation course and an academic year programme for those who need a specific level or certification to continue with their studies. During the summer months, the school provides an adult summer programme, which includes accommodation.

Junior courses: In the school holiday months, Kings opens its doors to younger learners. Programmes are created so these students not only learn English but experience Bournemouth.

“I loved the fact that teachers were always available and they not only loved to teach you the language and show you their culture but they were also interested in learning about yours.Classmates were really sociable and friendly.”
Insider tip: “Considering that I was very fine with the host family,according to me people should really know the real distance between school and host family. I was told that the house was a few minutes from the school but every day I had to do about 50 minutes travel between the bus and walking.”

Other comments: Some local schools were dirty, such as restaurant and bar .. sometimes the reading room was dirty too. I pointed out at the school in the questionnaire that the school will supply at the end of the course.

“Teachers tend to be nice.”
“The value for money is harmful. Progress in the early levels is slow and tiring. There is no unanimity among teachers regarding the objectives. The study of the different tenses and sentence construction are conspicuous by their absence. Since management does not focus on education from a pragmatic point of view, a very few aspects of the language are taught in each lesson, and the little that is taught is often irrelevant. A private school like this one in Spain (so expensive and "prestigious") would have no students.”

Kings

“I fell into EFL teaching while travelling in the Bornean jungle. I was thrust into a classroom at a local high school as the first native teacher of English the children had ever encountered. Although I had no idea what to do the smiles on the pupils' faces and the pride at seeing some progress in their English speaking in that first 30 minute encounter inspired me to work in this field. One thing all English language learners have in common is the sense that they will create a better future for themselves by improving their English language proficiency. The part that I play in that whether big or small, direct or indirect, is what inspires me to work in this sector. I get real satisfaction in knowing that I have made a positive contribution to the life goals of many individuals and groups and continue to do so every day.”
