English as an additional language (EAL)
At Chapelford Village we have a diverse range of families and 22 different languages are spoken through the school. We want to use our website to provide a wealth of information and resources to support both pupils and families to learn to speak English.
Alongside this, as part of our commitment to celebrating and embracing the diversity of our school we want to celebrate and learn even more about the cultures through our school. Parental contribution and communication with the school is a valuable tool, and we have a number of ways parents can get involved including our PTA - ChaPTA and our parents forum. If you would like more information about these please email sbm@chapelfordvillageprimary.co.uk
