Berkshire Global Education UK – Baylis House Mansion Courses
Baylis House Mansion is one of our most prestigious locations in the UK. Set in a beautiful Mansion House on acres of lands with fantastic views the choice of location creates an unforgettable experiential learning environment, where a fusion of originality, innovation and 300 years of tradition and history produces an educational atmosphere unlike any other.
Dr. Gregory Hascard, who became the Dean of Windsor in 1684, built Baylis House in 1696. Baylis House was built in the plain Dutch style of architecture which flourished in England after the restoration of King Charles II. Over the years the building was inevitably changed by additions and refurbishments and, as a result, evolved from a simple family house to a work of architectural importance. In 1726 Thomas Rowland, the Clerk of Works to Windsor Castle, added a third storey. Between 1733 and 1735 John James of Greenwich undoubtedly did work on Baylis House at the request of the second owner, Dr. Henry Godolphin, the brother of Sidney Godolphin, who was created Lord High Treasurer in the reign of Queen Anne. It is also believed that he built the east wing stable block which is now Godolphin Court. With such a long history, it is inevitable that Baylis House has been home to many eminent people. The fourth Earl of Chesterfield was one resident and could well have written some of his famous letters to his son during the time he lived there.
The Butt family turned Baylis House into a Roman Catholic School in 1830 and for much of its existence was said to be "always much more than a school”. It was a centre from which, for long years, flowed charity and help for the spiritual and corporate needs of the scattered flock of Christ.

At Berkshire Global I improved my English a great deal. My self-confidence increased and I became more responsible than before. I think the whole Berkshire team was great especially Miss Ann. Thank you to all at Berkshire for this wonderful experience

Berkshire Global team is very friendly and efficient. They offer many courses every week from basic English to advanced certificate courses. All my instructors were very friendly, and they all made the class fun and easy. I liked all the hands on teaching approach and they had each of us demonstrate in front of each other with different scenarios to better help us learn. Award Ceremony was the best experience ever

On my first day of class, I was really afraid because I thought my English level was not good. However, as days passed, studying at Berkshire Global became fun. While living in the campus, I had to speak English everyday which helped in improving my language skill. I also enjoyed making many new friends from different countries, which I had the opportunity to learn about their cultures and lifestyles.

Berkshire experience is simply amazing! What I like about my course was the fact that I get to learn a lot and I also get to meet classmates of different nationalities. I had the opportunity to take part in the Student Sports Challenge where I won the second prize! It was an exciting learning experience and I was motivated to work harder and excel.
