Assessment
We assess all pupils new to English using the Bell Foundation Assessment Framework (The Bell Foundation’s EAL Assessment Framework for Schools, Support Strategies and digital EAL Assessment). The assessment toolkit is a cross–curricular tool to help practitioners to observe, document and accelerate the ways bilingual pupils start to use English as a tool for learning. The toolkit helps to target language development through listening, speaking, reading and writing. It helps practitioners to inform their planning and target the pupil’s next steps.
If you have any questions about our EAL provision, please do not hesitate to contact the school by email (mail@olchfa.org.uk) or telephone (01792) 534300.
