Walsham le Willows CEVC Primary we welcome those children who have English as an Additional Language. We support them by:

·        Welcome packs are translated to the home language, giving the pupil and parents/carers information about the school and daily routines.

·        A ‘buddy’ system whereby a group of children are chosen to show the newcomer around the class and the school and help them whenever possible.

·        Initially, the child is allowed to settle and get accustomed to being in a new school and home, perhaps even a new country.

·        An induction programme to introduce basic vocabulary including names of children, numbers and colours.
