Trinity College London and International House (IH) will be working closely together to enable more of IH’s high quality schools to become Trinity exam centres. Examinations have a key role to play in language learning and this development will ensure IH students have access to a variety of excellent exam options. Trinity’s range of exams including English language, drama and music will provide IH students with the opportunity to measure their academic progress and reach their goals.
Lucy Horsefield, COO of IHWO said, ‘We are always seeking to work with like-minded organisations to achieve excellence in language training. Assessment is an essential part of our schools’ offer. Since International House and Trinity share the same goal of supporting student progress and achievement we are delighted to move forward in our relationship with Trinity in this way.’
Andrew Freeman, Director Europe of Trinity said, ‘As an international exam board, we are delighted that students at IH schools will now be able to access Trinity qualifications which are designed to support the development of real-world English language and communication skills for study and employment.’
