Accessing support for your Traveller cohorts

Support available

The EMTAS Traveller Achievement Team provides advice and guidance to schools on all aspects of practice and provision in relation to their Gypsy, Traveller, Roma, Showmen and Boater pupils.

Accessing support

To discuss what support for your Traveller pupils might look like in your school or setting, please contact the Traveller Team via the EMTAS office

After discussion with an EMTAS Specialist Teacher Advisor, complete this spreadsheet with the relevant information about your Traveller and/or Showmen children and email it to [email protected]. We will then be able to work with you, your pupil(s) and their family/families in school.

Note that some Roma pupils may be more appropriately supported through first language in a similar way to children for whom English is an Additional Language. If you have a newly-arrived Roma pupil on roll and you require Bilingual Support, please refer them using the online form on the EMTAS website.
