At Equity in Education, we work in partnership with schools, academies, trusts, nurseries and early years settings to create inclusive learning environments where every learner can succeed. Our expertise brings together three connected areas:
English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Equality & Inclusion
Diversity & Cultural Development
Together, these services help educational settings strengthen leadership, improve teaching and learning, build staff confidence and achieve sustainable whole-setting improvement.
We provide tailored consultancy, teaching, assessment, training and strategic support, shaped around each setting’s needs. Drawing on specialist expertise, current research and practical experience, we work alongside leaders and practitioners to review provision, plan improvement and respond effectively to changing learner needs. Our focus is on practical solutions that support lasting, meaningful change.
EAL Consultancy
Strong EAL provision helps multilingual learners participate fully, feel included and achieve their potential. Our consultancy supports schools and early years settings to review and strengthen EAL provision through strategic guidance, provision reviews, leadership support and staff development.
We help you evaluate current practice, identify priorities and develop sustainable approaches that improve outcomes for multilingual learners. By embedding effective EAL practice across leadership, teaching and assessment, we support inclusive environments where EAL learners can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
Whether you are responding to changing learner demographics or developing existing provision, we provide practical, tailored guidance to help every EAL learner feel valued, supported and able to succeed.
EAL Teaching, Assessment & Interventions
High-quality teaching and accurate assessment help multilingual learners develop English and access the curriculum with confidence. We provide specialist EAL teaching, targeted interventions and assessments, including:
Language proficiency and new arrival assessments
Progress monitoring and academic language development
CAML assessments
Practical recommendations to support teaching and learner progress
Our services help staff understand learners’ needs, inform planning and strengthen classroom practice. Through a whole-setting approach, we support educational settings to develop effective systems for language development and improve outcomes for multilingual learners.

Equality & Inclusion
Inclusive education means ensuring every learner feels valued, respected and able to participate fully in school life. Our Equality & Inclusion consultancy supports schools and early years settings to meet their statutory responsibilities and embed equality across leadership, curriculum, policies and everyday practice. We work collaboratively to strengthen inclusive cultures, reduce barriers to learning and improve outcomes for all learners, particularly those from ethnic minority and other underrepresented groups. Our practical, research-informed guidance is tailored to each setting’s context and needs, helping make inclusion an integral part of everyday practice rather than a standalone initiative.
Diversity & Cultural Development
Celebrating diversity and strengthening belonging enriches learning and builds stronger educational communities. We support schools and early years settings to embed diversity, cultural understanding and inclusion across the curriculum and wider life of the setting. Our consultancy helps leaders develop meaningful approaches to:
Cultural Capital
British Values and SMSC
Belonging and identity
Anti-bias education
Through a whole-setting approach, we help ensure learners feel represented, respected and connected to their learning. We support settings to recognise diversity as a strength and create inclusive environments where every learner can flourish.
