English as an Additional Language (EAL)
We are pleased to welcome more children arriving with English as an additional language, or, in some cases, with no English. We welcome children at different entry points during their primary journey. Our aim is to settle the children as quickly as possible, into school life; to encourage them to take part in the daily routines and structures, which will help them to develop, not only an understanding of the academic aspects of English, but the use of our language as a social interaction. We aspire to deliver memorable learning and experiences, whilst increasing oracy and reading skills as much as possible.
