Celebrating the First Parent English Class Programme at Tenby

Our Parent English Class brought international parents together to learn, connect and grow, celebrating their achievements with a certificate presentation at the end of the programme.

Learning doesn't stop with our students—it extends to the entire Tenby community.

We are delighted to celebrate the successful completion of our first Parent English Class programme at Tenby Schools Setia Eco Park. Designed especially for parents from China, Japan and Korea, the programme provided a welcoming and supportive environment where participants could improve their English, build confidence and connect with other families within our international community.

To ensure every parent received the right level of support, the programme was offered in two levels—Beginner and Intermediate. Throughout the sessions, parents developed practical English communication skills that they could use in everyday life, while also gaining greater confidence in communicating within the school and wider community.

The classes were led by Dr Denise Evans, Lead Teacher for our New to English Programme (NEP) in Key Stage 1 Primary. With more than 13 years of experience teaching children and adults from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, Dr Denise brings a wealth of expertise to every lesson. Holding a Doctor of Education in Global Education, a Master's degree in ESOL, and bachelor's degrees in Elementary Education and Vocal Performance, she is passionate about creating engaging learning experiences that help every learner thrive.

At the end of the programme, parents gathered to celebrate their achievements and were presented with certificates of completion in recognition of their commitment and progress. More importantly, they left with greater confidence, new friendships and practical English skills that will continue to support them throughout their family's educational journey.

The programme also received heartfelt feedback from participating parents, who shared how much they had enjoyed the experience:

"The classes were a wonderful experience. Learning English alongside other parents from different backgrounds made every session enjoyable and rewarding."

"Dr Denise is always so happy and brings joy to teaching!"

"Thank you for your continued support and guidance!"

"Thank you so much for always teaching us with such passion!"

At Tenby Schools Setia Eco Park, we believe that a strong school community is built when families feel welcomed, connected and supported. Our Parent English Class programme is one of the many ways we help international families settle into school life while building confidence in their English communication.

Congratulations to all our parents on completing the programme. We look forward to welcoming even more families to future Parent English Class sessions and continuing this shared journey of learning together.
