Accessibility Statement

The UK’s Equality Act 2010 defines what are called ‘protected characteristics’ i.e. grounds upon which discrimination is unlawful. One of these protected characteristics is disability. Under the Equality Act 2010 a person is classified as disabled if they have a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Day-to-day activities include things such as using a telephone, reading a book or using public transport.

Introduction

LAL Language Centres will not discriminate against a student.

  • In the way we provide education for the student.
  • In the way we give the student access to a benefit, facility or service.
  • By not providing education for the student.
  • By not affording the student access to any benefit, facility or service.
  • By excluding the student.
  • By subjecting them to any other detriment.

LAL Language Centres is committed to providing equality of opportunity to all students. We recognise that everyone is unique with different needs and aspirations. We guarantee to treat everyone consistently and fairly. We recognise that we have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure disabled students are not discriminated against. All of our schools have limited facilities for disabled students such as wheelchair access and wheelchair-accessible facilities.


Policy

  1.  LAL Language Centres requires all students to declare any disabilities and special educational needs at the ‘application stage’.
  2. Declaration will allow the school to make provision for the student in what ever way is deemed reasonably possible and practicable.
  3. Declaration at the application stage will allow the school time to make any adjustments that are deemed reasonable and necessary, or to propose alternative arrangements if adjustments cannot reasonably be made.
  4. If a disability or special need is not declared at the time of application but is identified after arrival at school, this could result in the school not being able to provide the expected/agreed/contracted services for the student. In this case the school would make arrangements for the student to be transferred to another school or for the student to return home. This could result in additional costs for student concerned.

The teachers in LAL teach well and they are so cool…

I want to improve my English that’s why I’ve been staying for one month at LAL. It was a good experience because I met people from different countries, new friends and I can practice English everyday.

Cape Town is a lovely place, I really enjoy it.  The teachers in LAL teach well and they are so cool. The staff in the school is also sociable. Concerning my accommodation, I like it, my room is clean and has enough space even I shared it.

Thank you so much LAL School and Cape Town for an amazing week spent here. Every activity that was organized by the school was well-organized, every tour is memorable. Special thanks to my teacher Shuraiz and his stories in the museum.
I wish I can stay here for more weeks because 1 week in Cape Town it’s not enough and I would recommend LAL school to anyone who wants to improve his/her English.

They did everything they could to look after me…

I’d like to take this time to say something about the time I spent in Cape Town, especially the accommodation. Even if my host family is away from here by walking, Ms Bev Lucraft and her mother are friendly and they did everything they could to look after me.  I recommend to the LAL to choose that host family to the others students because it is a good stay.

Teachers are good at English and they gave me all English I’m looking for and other facilities to succeed.  I’ll recommend other students to take part in LAL.
