Language Buddies
Our Language Buddies are very enthusiastic. They support children who are new to school and share their language (additional to English). They have proved very valuable in helping to reassure and support new starters. They are proud of their language skills and enjoy teaching their classmates about their language and heritage.
Our children particularly like sharing the many bilingual books we have in school – reading a story in another language like Polish or Urdu, and also in English.
