ELC Bristol Maintains Top Spot in UK Language Centre Rankings

We are delighted to share that ELC Bristol, a member of the Clifton College Education Group, has once again been recognised at the top of the EL Gazette UK language centre rankings. The school is among a select group of institutions to maintain a perfect 10/10 score in both the 2024-25 and 2025-26 Centre of Excellence lists.

Over 350 schools across the UK are inspected each year, with only the highest-performing centres achieving this distinction.

Each centre undergoes an initial accreditation inspection, a full re-inspection every four years, and random spot checks to ensure standards are consistently met. Inspectors spend three days observing classes, visiting accommodation, reviewing facilities, examining records, and speaking with staff and students. 

A Well-Deserved Achievement

“Achieving a perfect score is a testament to the skill, dedication, and hard work of all our staff,” said Andrew Edwards, Principal at ELC Bristol. “The inspection process is demanding, but this recognition makes it all worthwhile. We are immensely proud of this accomplishment.”

The centre now looks forward to its next full inspection in 2027, confident in its ability to maintain its top position.
