Intent

At Church Hill C of E Junior School, we embrace and celebrate the diversity of our pupils, including those who speak English as an additional language. Through our inclusive vision, “Let Your Light Shine” " (Matthew 5:16), we strive for every child to discover and embrace their unique heritage and find the power and beauty in this, regardless of language proficiency.

We are dedicated to providing tailored support to our English as an Additional Language (EAL) pupils through personalised learning experiences. Our commitment to care and support ensures that all pupils, including those facing linguistic barriers, have the opportunity to excel academically, emotionally, spiritually and socially.

As a Church of England school, we are guided by the values of koinonia and fairness, inspired by the teachings of Jesus Christ. Just as Jesus advocated for the marginalised and vulnerable, we are committed to supporting our EAL children and their families with love, understanding, experience and knowledge. Through our school's 12 core values, we continue to uphold the principles of equality, inclusivity, and opportunity for every child, regardless of their linguistic or cultural background so that pupils shine brightly in and outside of school.
