Hounslow Language Service provides specialist staff who work alongside school
staff to help bilingual pupils develop their English and succeed in school
subjects. The Mother-tongue section also helps pupils maintain and develop
their first language skills.
Aims
The aim of the service is to provide schools
with support for several key areas of work:
• Raising the attainment of EAL minority ethnic pupils
• Maintaining a database of EAL pupil progress, highlighting those
pupils at risk of under-achievement
• Meeting the requirement for schools to set targets linked to performance
for pupils from minority ethnic groups.
• Ensuring inclusion and access for EAL minority ethnic pupils.
• Meeting the schools’ duties under the Race Relations (Amendment)
Act 2000
• Responding to the recommendations of the Lawrence Inquiry
Hounslow schools buy into a range of teaching
and language assistant posts according to their school needs and the formula
agreed with the HLS Headteachers' Steering Group.
