English as a Second Language (ESOL)

Being a multi - cultural school enriches us. Normally there is a small number who are ESOL students. These children are privately funded, or centrally funded from the Ministry of Education. We employ a teacher and teacher aides to help these students.

If you would like your child to attend this caring school, where they would learn in a wonderful, rural, family atmosphere, please contact us.

Enrollment Requirements for International Students

To enroll your child at Gordonton School you will need:

A photocopy of student's passport details

A photocopy of parent(s)/legal guardian(s) passport details including signature and passport photo

Evidence of present school attending and current grade

Copy of student's last school report

If you are a Designated Caregiver then you will need to have a 'Statement of Designated Caregiver' letter filled out by the parents of the child.

By bringing all the above along with you when you enroll your child, will speed up the application process. It does not, how ever guarantee placement within our school.
