The entire curriculum is structured to follow a progression from levelto level. New skills are introduced, while existing skills are reinforced.

ARRIVAL AND AIRPORT TRANSFER

Londons Airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted,Luton and London City

Most flights into London land at Heathrow Airport,the worlds busiest international airport. ManyEuropean flights land at Stansted and Gatwickairports. All five of Londons airports are easilyaccessible from the Brighton, although Gatwick is

the closest to us. Stansted and Luton are theother side of London, so students should preparefor a 2-3 hour journey to Brighton if landing there.

After exiting the plane, simply follow the signs toArrivals, where students must first present theirpassport and, if from outside the EuropeanEconomic Area, a declaration card to animmigration officer. Next, students shouldproceed to the Baggage Claim Area to pick uptheir bags from the baggage carouselcorresponding to their flight number.

From the airport there are several ways forstudents to reach their accommodation:

In an emergency, please call 0044 7593 371388

TRAIN LINKS: All London airports have trainlinks to Brighton. Gatwick is the fastest at just 30minutes, though all other airports will require youto go through Central London and use theUnderground service. Please ask us if you needsome advice on how to do this.

AIRPORT BUS: National Express offers a coachservice from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and

Luton airports into the centre of Brighton. This isthe most economical way of reaching us. Thecoaches run through the night, but the journey islikely to take about 30 minutes from Gatwick, 2hours from Heathrow, and 3.5 hours fromStansted or Luton
