The support
for ethnic minority achievement (EMA) is currently managed in North
Somerset primarily within the Vulnerable Learners’
Service.
They have
responsibility for providing cross-cluster support to ensure that
all ethnic minority children and their families, including those
with English as an additional language, are supported appropriately
within North Somerset‘s settings and schools.
They are able to
respond to schools and settings in the following ways:
-
Following direct
referrals from schools and settings of individual BME children for
whom there are concerns, or referrals via Cluster Leads
-
As part of whole
school capacity-building in relation to ensuring the attainment of
minority ethnic pupils.
This strategic work
will include:
-
Support with school
planning using audit tools based on National Strategy programmes
supporting Black heritage pupils, New Arrivals and Advanced
Bilingual Learners
