I had an incredible experience at BEET; the school is exceptionally welcoming, and every staff member, from reception to teachers and cafeteria staff, is genuinely warm-hearted. Their passion for their work is palpable. The canteen consistently serves fresh and delicious food. In my opinion, BEET deserves a well-earned 5-star rating!
One of my favourite memories was studying in Beet . I didn’t feel like I’m strange student or something else but I felt like I’m in home and enjoying with students and staff. I really would love to come back and study there again xx
Established in 1979. Friendly & family-run!
BEET was established by its founder, Clive Barrow, in 1979 with just 3 students! Since that time it’s grown in size but firmly remains an independent, family-run school. We aim to help each and every one of our students to achieve their English language goals in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our students’ happiness is our priority, they come first!
Why Choose us?
Our students’ happiness is our top priority! We aim to provide a 5-star service across all aspects of students’ language stays; from the classes to the evening social programme, the welcome they receive from their host family to the atmosphere in the school canteen.

Loves Beet!
We’re very lucky to have so many happy students here at BEET, hearing about their time with us makes our job even more worthwhile. Here’s what some of them have to say!
I had the best time ever at beet, it was so nice since it was more like a big family than an actual school, definitely recommend going there!!
I was a student here, during the summer of 2009 . I have great memories back then. I wish to visit this place again
Came here not expecting much, but boy oh boy. I made a bunch of really good friends as well as THE best memories of my life in this place. The teachers are super friendly and constantly engages with the students to make them feel welcomed. The activities arranged here are magnificent. If you’re considering coming to this place, you really should. My only advice is go to every activity and be out there living your best life
It was the best experience I’ve ever had in my life. The staff is amazing and the teachers astounding. There are lots of extra activities and it give us a chance to meet people from all over the world. I hope to see you guys soon.
I was here 14 years ago and some of friends I met remained the best friends of mine. People coming here are different from those going to London. I had one of my best life time experiences and would never forget it. I still remember Mark saying ‘horrible, horrible, horrible!’. Miss him!!!
This school is amazing. During my stay in BEET I learned more about the British culture, English and I have now friends all over the world and we still keep in touch. During my stay in 5 months I learned so much about England. I stayed with a crazy but very funny and entertainfull hostfamily, we are still in touch and I am looking forward to see my hostfamily again and again.
