No but this is an interesting thought + would apply not just to Polish pupils Chris

I have Polish pupils in S2 who will soon be making course choices.  Does anyone have translated materials for this - e.g. description of course content/ how subjects articulate with career choices.  I realise the system in Scotland is different but there might be some overlap with England.

  Thanks

  In 2003, it was estimated that there were approximately 98,929 asylum-seeking and refugee children in UK schools. Although they are not a homogenous group and are children first and foremost, refugee pupils share experiences and have needs which differentiate them from their peers.
Schools play a vital role in aiding the recovery and assisting the wellbeing of these children as well as providing a vehicle for integration and promotion of social inclusion for all pupils. 

This course will provide an opportunity to examine the specific needs of refugee pupils and investigate positive strategies to support inclusion within the context of the DfES' Aiming high and Every Child Matters strategies, underpinned by the Education Act 2004.
