Young Interpreters

Our Young Interpreters help children who are new to our school and whose English is not their mother tongue.  They use different strategies to clarify, explain and interpret as well as make our EAL children feel welcome in their new environment.  Young interpreters are brilliant communicators and models of English, they help to reiterate our school rules and procedures and most of them were once new  EAL pupils themselves. They  are trained by the Young Interpreter Coordinator and they have regular meetings throughout the year.
