Grand opening of our new London building!

The 29th of February will see the grand opening of our additional London school building and will be a 'leap' forward in the facilities we offer to our London students!

The new building will effectively double the size of our London school, offering new spacious classrooms, a Teacher Training centre, library and study area, and a student hangout space, and demonstrates CATS Global School's commitment to offer the best possible learning environment for our students.

Our iconic blue door has a twin! 

Our new school building is right next door to our existing school. Located in a beautiful Georgian building, full of authentic period features, high ceilings and wonderful winding staircases, the school provides a peaceful atmosphere for study. 

Colourful, quirky design throughout 

The old meets the new as our beautiful Georgian school has a modern, colourful design aesthetic with quirky touches throughout.

We want our student's time with us to be comfortable, fun, and inspiring and so we have tried to create an environment they can feel at home in. We wanted our design choices to reflect the incredible city our school resides in, mixing the historic with the modern and adding a healthy dose of creativity for good measure. 

With eco-friendly drink refill stations dotted throughout the building, students will have all they need to thrive while studying with us.

Bright, spacious classrooms

The most important rooms in any school are the classes and ours are bright, spacious and bursting with personality!

Our new school building provides us with an additional 8 classrooms, and they each have their own distinct feel, whether that is through beautiful oak panelling, floor to ceiling windows, or chandeliers and charming period features. What they all have in common is 80-inch interactive whiteboards for our teachers to teach our fully digital curriculum from.

New Teacher Training centre

Being the second largest CELTA provider in the UK and third worldwide demands facilities to match.

Our new school building will now offer a dedicated and self-contained teacher training centre, with its own training room, office and kitchen, to really allow our trainees to focus on their intensive training with no disruption from the rest of the school.

New space for our Professional Certificates

Our Professional Certificate courses present a unique offering among ESL schools.

As the first language school in the UK to offer Professional Certificates, we have years of experience delivering our 2- and 4-week courses in Marketing, Business Management and Project Management. Our new London building gives us added space and flexibility in delivering these premium courses.
