What information should I put in the EAL status?

If your child speaks English as an Additional Language and you would like the senior school to consider any access arrangements, you should select 'Yes' and complete the information box.

You cannot request extra time for pupils with EAL but you may want to request that your child has access to a bilingual dictionary or other support. 

You should include here their first language and how long they have been learning English for.
