Pre-A Level Programme at LEH Foshan: Building Foundations for Top University Success

 

LEH International School Foshan offers a one-year Pre-A Level (PAL) programme designed to help students aged 15 and above make a smooth transition into the British education system. The programme is particularly suited for those who have not completed the full two-year IGCSE curriculum and are aiming to progress to A Level studies. With a strong emphasis on English language development and academic preparation, the PAL programme equips students with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in the demanding Sixth Form years and beyond.

Unique Features of the PAL Programme

 Beyond language and academic support, the PAL programme offers several distinctive advantages:

 - Academic Readiness: Students benefit from A Level taster lessons, study skills training, cross-curricular project-based assessments, and curated reading lists that deepen subject knowledge and learning strategies.

 - Holistic Development: Through peer mentoring, service projects, and public speaking workshops, students build confidence, teamwork, and leadership abilities.

 - IGCSE Qualifications: PAL students have the opportunity to sit IGCSE examinations in Mathematics and Mandarin, gaining internationally recognised credentials while experiencing the British qualification system in subjects where they are well positioned to succeed.

 - University Preparation: Early guidance on UCAS applications, scholarship support, and insights from senior students and Sixth Form tutors help students plan ahead for higher education.

 - Recognition and Opportunities: Participants receive a completion certificate, regular progress reports, and become eligible for Year 12 scholarships at Key Stage 5.

A Broad and Balanced Curriculum

The PAL curriculum covers a wide range of academic and non-academic subjects, allowing students to explore their interests and develop well-rounded capabilities.

Academic subjects include Art, Biology, Chemistry, Chinese, Computer Science, Design and Technology, English (First or Second Language), Geography, History, Mathematics, Music, Physics, IELTS, STEAM, Economics, and Business Studies.

Non-academic components include Physical Education, Careers and University Guidance, and Personal, Social, and Health Education (PSHE). Experienced teachers provide personalised support and timely feedback, while also nurturing core life skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.

 Beyond the Classroom: Building Life Skills

 The PAL programme emphasises not only academic excellence but also the development of personal strengths and life skills that are essential for success at university and beyond. Students are encouraged to participate in a wide array of extracurricular activities, including music, art, sports, and drama. Leadership and community service initiatives further help students build a strong foundation in collaboration, communication, and civic responsibility.

PAL students also have the chance to join Sixth Form workshops and events, where they can interact with older students, gain first-hand exposure to A Level learning, and receive professional advice on university and career planning.

 Outstanding Student Achievements

 The PAL programme has produced a number of successful graduates who have gone on to secure places at top universities worldwide. Among the Class of 2025, Ye completed the PAL programme and used it as a springboard to focus on art and design, ultimately earning admission to the University of the Arts London (UAL), a world-leading institution in creative disciplines.

 From the Class of 2026, several PAL students have also achieved remarkable outcomes. Simon and Oscar, both strong in science subjects, received multiple offers from prestigious universities in the UK and Hong Kong. Billy overcame initial difficulties in English and mathematics through targeted support during PAL and went on to receive offers from five top UK universities. Osmanthus made significant progress in English and science, securing seven offers from leading institutions in the UK and the US, with a goal of studying clinical medicine. Vincent distinguished himself in music, earning professional qualifications and admission to top UK conservatoires for jazz drumming.

These success stories reflect the comprehensive preparation and personal growth that the PAL programme fosters in students from a variety of academic backgrounds.
