I am a cluster based EAL teacher supporting c. 50 schools over all key  
stages (and some nurseries) alongside two support assistants.  We are very
limited 
as to the amount of direct support we can offer schools and so I try to  get

projects set up which can build capacity within the school and within the  
cluster.

We have a large intake of Eastern European Roma students.  Many come  with 
minimal or no literacy skills in a written language.  This is  especially 
problematic in KS3 and KS4.  There have also been some cases of  young
people not 
having a chance to access education due to lack of places  available (esp
for 
Year 10 and 11).  These children do not fit into the  category of being
eligible 
for Adult education either as they are too  young.

I am concerned that these young people are not getting the chance to
acquire 
any skills in English, or other subject areas, and are therefore  heading 
rapidly towards a massive poverty trap.  I am at a loss as to what  to
suggest 
next.

Is this a problem that has been addressed successfully (or even partially)  
in any other area?

Any suggestions gratefully received, many thanks

Una
