A warm welcome to EAL at Beacon Academy
Our pupils’ and staff are passionate in all we do to provide an inclusive and personalised curriculum to ensure every single child is able to find their remarkable!
We are proud to have environments that support our EAL children learning survival, social, functional and academic language. These skills are learnt through specialised teaching and personalised learning through a wide range of real-life and engaging activities, such as celebrating World Language and experiencing cultures first-hand through dance, cooking and languages – what great fun we have! Our EAL children strive in the environments that our dedicated staff create and the experiences offered to them which allow them more opportunities to be all they can be.
We have a dedicated EAL classroom which pupils celebrate their heritage in as well as develop their understanding of English. Specific work is done to support pupils of EAL making use of excellent resources such as Language Village. Pupils in our KS1 receive extensive phonics intervention and additional booster session to ensure they access our broad curriculum.
