An inspiring course which was delivered with such expertise and knowledge. I can use the practical ideas in the classroom with EAL pupils and work with my colleague (who also attended the course) to improve the strategies in our school to make EAL pupils and families feel welcome. I will share what I gained from the course with colleagues to impact the wider school

I gained a greater understanding of the needs of EAL children. I loved the different techniques that we were taught and I came away with so many different ideas that I have been able to implement.
