ESL (English as a Second Language)
Provision is made for those children who have little or no English. A specially trained ESL teacher takes small groups of children through many language based activities until they have reached a stage of confidence and security in both written and spoken language.
The children are assessed and assigned a phase - phase 1 being for those children who have no English and therefore require more support, up to phase 3, where the children are starting to grasp written and spoken English and require less support.
