FFT Briefing - Insight into the Progress of EAL Pupils

Insight into the Progress of EAL Pupils – new FFT briefing announced

FFT Education have announced a new briefing - Insight into the Progress of EAL Pupils - to take place in Birmingham on Wednesday 14 June, 2017.

Insight into the Progress of EAL Pupils is aimed at those leading a school with a high percentage of pupils with English as an Additional Language (EAL) or those keen to find out more about different groups of pupils within their school.

Suitable for both primary and secondary schools, the event consists of presentations from FFT’s expert consultants, focused activities and the opportunity to network with others from schools like yours.  

During the highly focused two-hour session, you will learn from our most recent research and analysis that highlights how EAL, pupil premium and ethnicity shape educational achievement and progress.

During the session you will explore your own school’s FFT Aspire Dashboard to understand more fully the progress made by EAL pupils in your school and understand better the context of your school in advancing achievement and attainment.

The briefings cost £75 + vat per delegate.
