At UKG Language, we’re passionate about creating an exceptional environment for our students. That’s why we’ve chosen an iconic location for our new school—a former bank in the heart of Ringwood. But why a bank, you ask? Let’s take a look at the five key reasons that led us to transform this historic building into a modern, welcoming space for learning.
1. A Dream Realised
Our founder, Helen Herridge, has always been driven by a passion for helping young learners flourish. With over 20 years of experience supporting international students, Helen’s dream was to create a unique space dedicated to immersive, high-quality English language education. The new school is a perfect reflection of this vision, combining tradition with a fresh, modern approach to learning.
2. Decades of Experience Supporting International Students
With over two decades of experience, UK Guardians has always prioritised student wellbeing, academic excellence, and cultural immersion. Our new purpose-built school will continue this legacy, providing outstanding learning opportunities in a welcoming and supportive environment. From host family accommodation to expertly designed courses, we have everything in place to ensure students feel right at home.
3. A Commitment to Young Learners’ Development
At UKG Language (the language division of UK Guardians) , we believe learning extends beyond the classroom. That’s why we’ve designed our new school with one goal in mind—to support every student’s growth, both academically and personally. Whether it’s through our tailored programmes for different age groups or our immersive cultural experiences, students will find everything they need to thrive.
4. A Unique Learning Destination
Our school in Ringwood offers students something truly special—a peaceful, picturesque setting in a charming market town, just two hours from London. With easy access to beautiful landscapes like the New Forest and iconic UK landmarks, this location allows students to enjoy a different kind of learning experience. It’s the perfect balance between tradition and modernity, city and countryside.
5. An Unbeatable High Street Location
Located in a former high street bank, our new school is a unique blend of history and contemporary design. Students will not only benefit from modern classrooms but also have the chance to explore a vibrant, friendly local community. From boutique shops to traditional markets, everything Ringwood has to offer is right on our doorstep.
