Learning, curriculum, and pedagogy is exemplary here. Although we believe that these results lead to a tangible improvement in the opportunities of our young people we are equally proud of the way we see our students conduct themselves in our classrooms and corridors on the day to day. In the commitment they demonstrate in the library and the drama studio, or in the resilience they demonstrate in the sports hall and the textiles room. It is a privilege to teach students at Bromley. We believe that we have built something special here through a leadership at all levels philosophy of constant improvement, and listening to our students, staff, and wider community.

We are recruiting hosts who can offer a spare bedroom, 3 meals per day and the required lessons & activities to language students. Influent offers language courses to foreign students of all ages (children, teenagers, adults) and all levels (from beginner to advanced) who are looking for a language immersion experience living and studying in their tutor's home. Students usually book 10h, 15h, 20h or 25h teaching per week and usually stay an average of two weeks. As well as language lessons many students also book general activities, cultural visits or options (such as business, professional & specialised vocabulary, exam preparation etc ). Some students sometimes prefer to book only activities and no language lessons, there are many variations of the programme. Hosting with Influent is not usually a full time job (although some hosts manage to have students staying most weeks of the year), and many find it ties in very well with 'retirement,' running their own business, working from home, being at home with young children or even just working a few weeks during holidays. You choose when to host and who to host !
