Stafford House CELTA

At CATS Global Schools we are deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty The Queen. Today our thoughts go out to the entire Royal Family, who mourn the profound loss of their beloved Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother.

We remember The Queen’s seven decades of devoted service with admiration and reflect on her extraordinary life. She led the Nation and Commonwealth with kindness and compassion. May she rest in peace.

God save the King.

Christopher Stacey, CEO, CATS Global Schools

Our first Face to Face CELTA trainees of 2022 at Stafford House London have just successfully completed their course.

It has been an absolute pleasure being part of their teacher training.
They’ve all made immense progress and can now confidently call themselves teachers.
Their teaching journeys have only just begun and wherever they go, we are certain they are going to be great teachers.
Huge congratulations to them all!

At Stafford House International, we recognize that we haven’t done enough. The recent movement has made us look at ourselves and reflect on how we can do more. Today, we make a promise that we will do better. Over the coming weeks we will share our commitment on addressing inequality. As educators, the first step is to educate ourselves.

We haven’t done enough. We will do better. We stand with you.

At Stafford House we take the health and welfare of our community very seriously. With the Coronavirus being a concern for us all, we have put together some quick guides for you to follow when you are outside.

One of the most valuable aspects of doing a CELTA course is the opportunity to observe other people teaching. This can be difficult before you start or after you finish a course. Here are lots of lessons put together by Sandy Millin (CELTA tutor and DoS at IH Bydgoszcz).

Lessons you can watch online For a lot of teachers, it can be hard to find the time or the opportunity to observe and learn from other teachers’ lessons. If that’s you, hopefully you’ll find these videos usef…

Pedro, one of our January trainees has written a blogpost about his experience of doing the CELTA here at Stafford House!
