A welcome message from Mrs Ewa Catalano – EAL Learning Mentor
I work at the academy as an EAL Learning Mentor. In our academy, we celebrate the fact that many of our students speak more than one language and we recognise that our academy community is enriched by this. We value the different languages and cultures that make up The St Lawrence Academy.
We are pleased to support our students by:
- Providing our EAL students – particularly those who are New To English (NTE) help to unlock their potential.
- Helping students to speak, understand, read and write English
- Supporting the continued use of students’ home languages and try to accommodate possible GCSE’s of their native language
- Providing support through ICT, video or audio materials ,educational programmes, dictionaries and translators
