Our school is a happy and vibrant school, home to a diverse international community of students and staff. A significant number of our students join the school from all over the world and are new to English or beginner to intermediate level. Our English as an Additional Language (EAL) team are dedicated to providing the support to students that they need to prepare them to move on to a full and rich curriculum of subjects once their language needs have been addressed.
We require a teacher of EAL to join our team. Students are taught a curriculum that focuses on their language acquisition between a term or up to a year in a full-time dedicated timetable. Once assessed to have made sufficient progress to be able to cope in mainstream classes they move to the next tier of EAL support until they are ready for full time mainstream lessons. The EAL teacher will be the full-time teacher of the dedicated beginner curriculum.
