Sustaining Progress: Moving Beyond Early Acquisition of English in Primary Schools (Webinar)
How can primary schools ensure learners using EAL continue to develop the language skills necessary to fully engage with the curriculum?
This webinar will explore how leaders and practitioners in primary schools can best support multilingual learners in sustaining progress beyond the early stages of English acquisition, developing the language skills necessary to fully engage with the curriculum.

Areas of focus will include:
- The role of school leaders in steering a whole school approach;
