My core job is teaching English but my TLR impacts every area of our school. I'm proud of the work in those areas and been lucky to lead a fabulous team.
EAL improvement:
Sept: 8% of school as Band A, new to English
May: (inc 3 pupils that arrived in MARCH): 0.66% Band À

What an opportunity. Our school has 55% of children who have EAL, majority Spanish and Portuguese. An amazing opportunity to supercharge a culture which already has so many strengths.
