      Junior Ambassadors for Severnvale’s Young Learner Programme

      We are looking for Shropshire students to join us as ambassadors for Severnvale Academy.

      As an ambassador you will take part in excursions and activities along side our international junior students who are with us to learn English across 6 weeks of the summer. Our students are from all across the world – France, Estonia, Spain, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabi, Brazil, Russia and more. Aged between 13 and 17 years old, with a wide range of English skills.

      You will encourage the use of English being spoken at all times, and introduce non-English speaking students to the phrases and references we use  everyday. These interactions go a long way to build our students’ understanding and experience whilst they are with us. The experience you gain can be used on future applications to Universities or might lead to other opportunities.

      Follow the link below to register you or your child’s interest in becoming an ambassador.
