6. ENGLISH AS AN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE (EAL)
English as an additional language (EAL)
We offer specialist EAL lessons to all our international pupils from Year 5 in addition to the normal curriculum. The programme is tailored to suit the individual child. Pupils are assessed on arrival and recommendations are made to parents through their agent/guardian. The school reserves the right to determine whether a pupil requires this additional support. This specialist department ensures that lessons are motivating, beneficial and enjoyable. Classes are designed to help children cope with the demands of the wider curriculum and to concentrate on reading, writing, listening, speaking and vocabulary and grammar development, which enables children to integrate into the mainstream as quickly as possible. St Andrew’s Prep uses the study materials and tests published by Cambridge English (also known as ESOL), a department of Cambridge University. Cambridge English exams are recognised by over 25,000 universities, employers and governments around the world. By using these materials, we ensure that our Androvian pupils will be able to prove their English skills to thousands of academic institutions and organisations worldwide following their St Andrew’s Prep education.
