Why this matters

Questions to ask the school
- Is an educational psychologist on staff or available by referral?
- What level of English is required for entry, and what EAL/ESL support is provided for a child still learning English?
- Can you support a child with my child's specific need (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism), and have you done so this year? Ask for concrete examples.
- Is there an additional fee for learning support or EAL — and how much per year?
- Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?

Students are assessed continuously throughout the year and may not require support from the ESU or a reduced level of support in subsequent years. This is the school’s decision based on current assessment records. It may be required from the school that your child may need a shadow teacher to accompany them and give support in lessons. This will be discussed on an individual basis with parents. Parents must cover the costs of the support that is deemed necessary.
