Ukrainian application to sixth form

Anna Turnbull <annatu...@wirral.gov.uk>: Jun 06 06:05AM -0700 See query below for a Wirral school:   Hi Anna     I have just been approached with a question about Ukrainian students wishing to join the Sixth Form. Two current Year 12 age students came to our reception today and asked about coming to the school. They are staying with one of our Year 7s whose family is hosting them.     We have a number of questions. These students would not be able to join Year 13 in September as they have missed a whole year of the courses and do not speak English. There is normally also a criteria of GCSEs they need to have to take certain subjects. If they join Year 12 in September rather than Year 13 they would then become over school age for Year 13. Not understanding English would obviously also be a huge barrier to them accessing the A Level curriculum.     Is there any guidance or information about this? Have Ukrainian students been joining other Sixth Forms on Wirral? What are they studying?

Dominic Brassington <dominicbr...@gmail.com>: Jun 06 03:10PM +0100 Post-16 students have three years of free education, at that age with zero or low levels of English they would be best going to college and doing ESOL with the aim of progressing onto an English medium course. At the moment it sounds like they would not be able to access any other courses.   If they speak Russian then a GCSE and an A Level in Russian is also an option, but there is content in English, more so at GCSE level.   On Mon, 6 Jun 2022 at 14:05, 'Anna Turnbull' via EAL-Bilingual <

Working with Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Pupils and their families in education

"Thomas, Karen (EMAS)" <Karen....@portsmouthcc.gov.uk>: Jun 06 02:10PM Hello everyone, Just a quick message to let you know that on Tuesday 14th June we are pleased to be hosting the Berkshire and Hampshire NALDIC Regional Interest Group's summer session on Zoom, from 3:30 - 4:45. Everyone is welcome - whether you are in Hampshire and Berkshire or anywhere else for that matter! The session will be led by our guest speaker, Declan O’Driscoll, the Education Policy and Campaigns Officer of the national Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) organisation ‘The Traveller Movement’ https://travellermovement.org.uk/   Declan will be talking about various aspects of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller culture and GRT History Month – which I'm sure you all know takes place in June – with a focus on GRT in the curriculum outside of the ‘month’; some possible barriers between schools and GRT families and, importantly, what schools can do to proactively reach out to engage and support GRT pupils and their families. He’ll also be sharing how schools and LAs can work more closely with the Traveller Movement on some exciting new initiatives. There will also be time for questions and an opportunity to share good practice.   Anyone is welcome to attend, so please do share widely with your colleagues and networks and ask them to fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/KGAqnseEWGMRh3z39 If you have not already filled out this form yourself, please do.
