These pupils need their lunchbreak more than most and it would be counter  
productive to make them miss lunchtimes. Time spent running around can actually  
improve their ability to concentrate post lunch and to be "available" for  
learning.

I am also a senior school SENCO and we withdraw pupils from curriculum  
lessons - obviously not core subjects - instead we tend to take them out of MFL  or 
possibly music or art subject to their skills/preferences. Our argument is  
that a pupil struggling with English should not be required to take on another  
language as well until they have acquired the skillls necessary to cope with 
the  rest of the curriculum.
