New-to-English Schools Questionnaire

[Denise A]

Dear all, please find below an invitation to complete a short survey; an informative newsletter is attached.

New-to-English Schools Questionnaire (10–15 minutes)

The New-to-English Resources Project is a collaboration between the Queen Mary Language Acquisition Lab and Tower Hamlets Education Partnership (THEP). Together with teachers, community experts, and families, we are co-developing practical, tailored, and freely available classroom resources to support pupils who are New to English (including newly arrived pupils and those who start school with limited English).

We are inviting primary and secondary schools in England to complete a short (10–15 minute) questionnaire about current practice and support needs. We are keen to hear from a wide range of schools so the resources reflect real classroom contexts and diverse experiences.

Responses are anonymous and will directly inform the next stage of co-developing the resources.

Questionnaire can be found here:

Supporting New-to-English Pupils: School Questionnaire – Fill in form

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Kathleen McCarthy at k.mcc...@qmul.ac.uk

Dear all,

I hope you’re all well.

I’m one of the teacher collaborators on this project, and the more responses we get, the better we can design practical and useful resources to support pupils who are New to English. It would be great to have your input so the resources really reflect what’s needed in schools.

If you haven’t had a chance yet, I’d really appreciate it if you could spare 10–15 minutes to complete the questionnaire below.

Thanks so much for your time- it really does make a difference.

Best wishes, 

Kasia Franas
