English as an additional language (EAL)
Welcome video from some of our amazing staff and children!
English as an Additional Language
At Lady Bay Primary School, many of our pupils are learning English as an Additional Language or are able to speak a second language in addition to English. We celebrate the fact that collectively we speak twenty three different languages throughout school.
Information for parents
At Lady Bay, we understand that starting school whilst learning a new language can be challenging for pupils and their families. Our staff are available to help your child should you need support.

Helping Your Child to Learn
The Bell Foundation has created a short, easy to understand guide about helping children to learn. It has been written for parents of students who speak English as an Additional Language.
