[eal-bilingual] A correction re SATs

A while back on 17th January I posted information from NAA re provision 
for EAL pupils doing science and maths tests.
NAA made a mistake in the text and I am posting a correction (this is 
only part of the text I posted)

"There are a variety of options available to schools depending on the 
particular needs of the pupil concerned and what their normal classroom 
arrangements are. Such arrangements may include the provision of 25% 
additional time in the mathematics and science tests, the use of either 
an oral translator where a pupil can write their answers in English or 
in their first language, or a written translation of the tests paper 
where pupils may answer in their first language and then have a 
transcript of their answers translated by the translator on their 
behalf."

It is 25% additional time not 10% additional.

I understand from NAA that a colleague in Leeds noticed this. Many 
thanks to them.
