New to English

Can you imagine how tricky it must be to learn a language from scratch? Well some of of our children are doing just that. At Willow Lane, not only do we employ a specialist teacher to work with children 1:1 but we also run small language groups and help children gain everyday language through tasks such as cooking, gardening and working together to make lego models. On top of this, some of the most important teachers are the other children who help in class, play and over lunch to make new children at school feel welcome, happy and able to communicate with their peers.
