Our School
Through individualised learning programmes, intervention and support we will continue to further raise the attainment of EAL pupils across the curriculum. We are one of the few schools in the city fortunate to have a dedicated EAL learning base.
We aim to build effective and consistent teaching strategies, differentiation and resources within departments to give our staff the confidence to meet the needs of our ever growing number of EAL students.
We pride ourselves on the excellent relationships we have with parents and the different local communities. We have regular coffee mornings and opportunities for our EAL parents to come into school. For those parents who do not speak English we provide interpreters and translated school information materials for parents in order to encourage the parents of our minority ethnic groups to become more involved with the school and their children’s education.
My Bright Kite: ‘Freedom of Voice’ project
Please take some time to watch one of the 12 videos that are the result of our EAL team working with My Bright Kite. Each video is a personal story from a child, beautifully told and truly thought-provoking. These films are being used by schools and teacher training organisations across the country to develop and raise awareness, but also to celebrate the courage and achievements of these students. The first film in the series has already been used widely by other organisations, including WY Police.
