The Albany school is extremely proud of our EAL department. Students who start at the school with little or no English as a first language are provided with an individual tutor who will ensure that they quickly reach the standard they need to access the curriculum. Once they are following a full time table they continue to receive support in the classroom and with homework. We also aim to support the parents of EAL students through parents evenings and the reporting process. We are particularly proud of the success of our EAL students at GCSE level as they consistently achieve grades and progress above the national average. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the Head of EAL Mr Lynn via jlynn@thealbany.biz .
