We are excited to announce that our Integration Team and ESOL classes are moving to our new premises at Westgate House on Museum street. A short 5 minute walk from our current office at 34 St Matthews Street, Westgate House is a 3 storey building, which will provide two fully functioning classrooms, a small consultation room and space for our administrative team.
Why are we moving?
With over 230 ESOL learners across more than a dozen classes every week we have rapidly outgrown our existing office and teaching space at St Matthews Street. This impressive growth has meant we’ve had to hire additional venues to run our projects, leading to extra cost and organisation. Our new premises at Westgate House will mean we can run all of our ESOL activities including our maternity project in one building.
The extra space will also mean we can continue to grow by allowing us to:
Increase our teaching space by 200%
Grow our weekly ESOL learners by 50%
Expand our Information, Advice and Guidance services by 50%
When?
We will officially be moving into our new premises in August during the summer break, so we can have everything ready to welcome learners back when the new ESOL term starts in September.
