Whole school approach to EAL in schools

Try these 'quick wins' before thinking about anything else to get you started and see the difference you could make.

• Check that your admissions process collates a complete picture of the children and young people (CYP). Watch our short admissions video and use our template CYP profiles: Primary Profile and Secondary Profile.
• Use professional interpretation services when communicating with families. INTRAN offers a range of interpretation services to schools including telephone and face-to-face interpretation.
• Use an English as an additional language (EAL) assessment framework like Bell Foundation or NASSEA to track CYP progress and provide effective teaching strategies.
