Support for EAL Children in Reception

Celebrating the EAL child in your Reception classroom: an opportunity not a problem.

We are pleased to announce that the Ethnic Minority Achievement Grant (EMAG) is now available for ALL EAL children of Reception age.

The English Language Support Service can support you in:

  • Enabling children to access all aspects of the foundation stage
  • Developing a cultural profile of the child by building positive relationships with families and communities
  • Offering practical advice e.g. resources and activities (inside and out) to further develop the enabling environment in order to meet the needs of EAL
  • Assessing the progress of EAL children

    For further information, please refer to MI sheet 131/10.
