New Arrivals Support

Supporting EAL Learners to Thrive

Welcoming new pupils effectively supports their wellbeing, integration and progress. We help schools and settings provide a smooth, supportive transition for newly arrived EAL learners and their families.

Support can include

• Admission guidance: Clear, fair processes for enrolling new EAL learners

• Welcome programmes: Approaches that help pupils and families feel safe, valued and included

• Induction procedures: Practical support such as orientation and buddy systems

• Language development: Strategies to support early communication and English acquisition

• Refugee and asylum-seeking pupils: Sensitive guidance that recognises wellbeing needs alongside learning

Our approach helps new learners settle confidently and begin engaging with learning from the outset.
