EAL
Our EAL Signature Approach
High Quality Teaching is the most important lever to improve outcomes for students
EEF, 2021)
Therefore the place for EAL students at QES is within the classroom where they will see and hear language modelled by the teacher and students. This is complimented by targeted interventions and in-class support for those learners who are the early stages of acquiring language.
The Bell Foundation Scale
We assess students as they arrive according to the Bell’s Foundation scale. We continue to assess them against this scale throughout their time at QES. This allows us to add in timely interventions to support good progress.
