New Arrivals Toolkit - Secondary

New Arrivals with English as an Additional Language: A Toolkit for Secondary Schools

The documents below form a toolkit that provides guidance and support for secondary school staff working with new arrivals with English as an additional language.

The aim of the toolkit is to support schools to develop inclusive provision for pupils who are newly arrived from abroad which will enable them to settle quickly and make good progress. The achievement of pupils depends on staff understanding of their social, emotional, cultural and language needs, and knowledge of good EAL teaching and learning practice. The materials in the toolkit provide guidance on admission, induction, assessment and teaching of new arrivals, many of whom will be at the early stages of learning English.

The materials are divided into six sections:
