BETTER BILINGUAL

“Catherine answered my call out for EAL specialists who could join our secondary PGCE residential at the University of Buckingham over half-term. Her planning was thoughtful and considered how to differentiate in the classroom but also how to ensure that EAL children feel included, develop a sense of belonging in a different culture and celebrate their backgrounds. The feedback from those who attended was positive on practical strategies she shared”

“The Ethnic Minority Achievement (EMA) development plan you put together for us has been invaluable; we have had three new arrivals from abroad this year with limited English, and the materials you guided me towards and the procedures for helping the students to settle have made a real difference. All staff have been given clear guidance about best practice in teaching EAL students and it is having a positive effect. So thank you again!”

“Thank you for your support this year. I feel a lot more confident about my role and ability to support staff appropriately.”

“Thank you. You’re always very engaging and enthusiastic. Your knowledge in this area is incredible!”

“Thank you. All your work with us since last year has made a huge positive difference in our day nursery.”
