What we do

We are a team of teachers and teaching assistants, most of whom are bilingual.

We support learners, parents, schools and governing bodies through:

  • bilingual assessments to identify the support needed
  • interpretation and translation support (if any of our team speak the language)
  • home-school liaison and site visits to strengthen communication between parents, learners and schools
  • partnership working with services and agencies to support schools, parents and learners
  • advocacy support for parents and learners when appropriate
  • GCSE home language support
  • individual or in-class support, focused withdrawal sessions, and small group collaboration with staff
