ESOL Verification visit
On November 7 The ESOL verifier, Rosemary Gillies, visited and wrote quit e a critical report subsequently. The main points were:
Ony a small proportion of ELLs were being catered for in the ESOL programme.
Only newly arrived ELLs have diagnostic testing, and only funded Ells are assessed using the ELLP tool (which some teachers will not be expert at using)
There are gaps in the identification and enrolment procedures for ELLs
Provisions for all Ells, especially those in the senior school, need to be reviewed to ensure they are prepared as well as possible for the CAAs
