EAL – English as an Additional Language\u00a0<\/h2>

Welcome….Witajcie….Laipni Ludzam….Ola….Sveiki Atvyke….Bienvenue<\/strong><\/h3>

\"\"<\/p>

Northgate Primary School is a multicultural school. Nearly 25% of our pupils come from different countries around the globe. We promote and celebrate diversity and recognise the positive impact another language can have on a child\u2019s learning.<\/p>

Our objectives are to encourage a whole-school approach, where class teachers and learning support staff all work together to provide support, encouragement and understanding in every aspect of a pupil\u2019s school life. Through careful assessment, we identify the language needs of our EAL students and meet them through planned intervention and quality teaching.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

At Northgate Primary School, we celebrate the fact that many of our children speak more than one language. Some are from well-established communities, whilst others may be new to the language and culture of this country. In our school, the teaching and learning, achievements, attitudes and well-being of all children are important. We encourage all children to achieve the highest possible standards. We do this through taking account of each child\u2019s life experiences and needs.<\/p>

Children who are learning English as an additional language (EAL) have skills and knowledge about languages similar to monolingual English-speaking children. Their ability to participate in the full curriculum may be in advance of their communicative skills in English.<\/p>

School Website Translation<\/strong><\/h3>

We have an amazing new function on our school website which allows you to translate our website to your own language.<\/p>

You can do this by clicking “language” button on the top right corner on the main school website, as shown on the picture below.<\/p>
