[eal-bilingual] RE: option choices

Bury CLAS has a DVD for parents and pupils on options at Y9 and career choices. The DVD was made in collaboration with Bury's Connexions service and is in English, Urdu, Cantonese, Farsi, Arabic and Turkish.

We have a limited number of copies for our own use but if a number of colleagues want to try it we could see about having some more made.

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

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.
