EMTAS-supported coffee events for parents/carers

EMTAS staff can work with schools to host coffee events for their EAL, BME and GRT parents/carers. The events can help build partnerships with parents/carers so they feel part of the school community. They can also help parents/carers be more engaged with their children’s learning.

EMTAS-supported coffee events can cover a range of topics including:
getting your child ready for school
helping your child settle into school
supporting reading
supporting your child’s learning
attendance
Inputs can be adapted to match the school’s particular needs with first language support (where available) enabling parents/carers to understand key information and to ask questions.

Contact [email protected] to find out more or to book a coffee event.

First and other languages

Planned and purposeful use of a bilingual pupil's first language can help them access and engage with the curriculum. Watch the EMTAS First Language videoscribe to find out more about this cross-phase teaching and learning strategy.
