The St. Helen course takes place in Hockerill Anglo-European College (click here for more information). Outside of the summer period, it is a special state school for European Union students. Hockerill College has a secure environment. It is self-contained and this gives the advantage of having both accommodation and classrooms on the same site.

The St. Helen centre plays host to approximately 130 - 210 students each week and it maintains a personal, caring and friendly atmosphere. It is now in its 9th year and continues to be very popular with Studio students.



The college is an old, attractive, "typically-English" boarding school with clean, modern facilities. It is located in a quiet, residential area, only 10 minutes' walk from Bishop’s Stortford town centre. Large, well-kept gardens surround the site and there is a picturesque public park nearby.

All meals are eaten in the large on-site cafeteria.
