The Bell Foundation is excited to launch a tender process for the development of new SEN guidance, processes and resources for practitioners who work directly with pupils using English as an Additional Language (EAL).
Speaking EAL is not a special educational need (SEN), but learners using EAL may themselves have additional educational needs, just like learners who use English as their first language. These new resources will enable practitioners to effectively support pupils who use EAL – particularly, but not exclusively, those pupils who are new to English and at the early stages of language acquisition – who are not making expected progress in their language and academic development and may have a special educational need and disability (SEND) impacting their learning and development.
