English as an Additional Language

At Windmill L.E.A.D. Academy, we have a specialist EAL teacher and a bilingual assistant, who provide additional lessons for children whose home language is not English. 

We have 39 languages spoken by our children, we feel very privileged and proud of this rich cultural heritage in our school community. The website links below can be used at home to share and enjoy songs and stories in a range of languages.
