Mrs Cathy Campbell is responsible for delivering ESOL lessons to all International Students on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday.

This year we also offer a 'Literacy Boost' class for International Students. This is entirely optional and held before school on a Thursday morning. Students are welcome to drop in for any support they need. Mrs Campbell will be available to read with your child, to support them to develop their writing skills, spelling, provide extra oral language practise and support.

ESOL lessons take place four times per week, in the mornings. Lessons are taught in small groups, and consist of reading, writing and oral language.

Cathy Campbell is available before school Monday-Thursday mornings 8.15-8.45am in the ESOL room. Appointments are not necessary. She would love to share with you your child's ESOL learning successes.
