Really enjoyed sharing NALDIC’s views on the new Ofsted Inspection Toolkit’s focus on EAL pupils. A general consensus that it’s a step in the right direction, but that there’s a lot to do to fully support our EAL pupils and their educational outcomes. Thank you to every who attended and contributed!
