EMAS in the Vale of Glamorgan works in partnership with schools to raise the achievement of pupils with English as an Additional Language.

 

Our team support schools and mainstream teachers to ensure pupils with EAL have access to the National Curriculum.

 

With access to translators we can ensure that parents of EAL pupils have knowledge and understanding about the education of their children.

 

We work with the School Improvement Service to deliver training for schools.

 

We also produce guidelines for teaching EAL pupils and information about Minority Ethnic pupils in the Vale.

 

With the School Improvement Service we help develop provision for race equality and cultural diversity issues in the Vale.
