After four and half years, I’m very sorry but the school has had to close.

We have tried to keep going as long as possible but have not been making a profit for some time. The number of students at the school now means I can no longer afford to pay the salaries, rent and other costs of keeping the school open.

I am very disappointed and I know you have been let down, for which I am very sorry, but we can’t continue to run the school and lose money.

We will be contacting the Official Receiver or an Administrator will be appointed. Once we have details of this we will put them up on the web site and they should be contacted about money issues.

If you believe you are owed money by the school please go to the school web site at www.prospectelc.com where we will soon give you information on how to go about claiming money you are owed. If you need to know how many lessons you are owed please email guy@prospectelc.com and I will get back to you with the information and where to write to for help as soon as it has been arranged.

If you want a certificate to confirm your studies, please email me with your address and I’ll send one out to you.

I have tried my best to develop a school that provides good teaching, but we were let down by the Learning and Skills Council last year who had led us to believe we would have more learners from them. The high cost of staff training for the British Council accreditation, as well as the admin preparing for it, so we can invite students from overseas, as well as fewer students has made it impossible to carry on.

On behalf of the teachers and Aga, who have all been fantastic, I’d like to thank you all for being great students, for teaching us so much about you and for the memories we have of classes, the good times and trips.

Once again, I am very disappointed and sorry this has had to happen.

Guy
