Hollymount School is a multicultural, multilingual school. We have over a third of our children who speak languages other than English at home.
These children learn through a language English which isnt their first language (English as an Additional Language) All teachers support their language development but we also have a teacher, Miss Whitworth who is a specialist in this area and can support staff.
There are many languages represented in school: Polish, Portuguese, Slovakian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Thai, Romanian, Italian, Indian, French, Nepali, Twi, Hindi, Greek, Urdu, Kurdish, Malayalam, Panjabi, Yoruba, Turkish & Bulgarian. Children who arrive with no English are usually conversational within a year although it can take 4 to 5 years to be truly fluent in a new language.
All staff receive training on how to support EAL learners in the classroom and use resources to adapt lessons.
