EAL - English as an additional Language

Sewell Park Academy is a culturally diverse school welcoming families of all nationalities and religious beliefs.

We have students and staff from many different countries all over the world, speaking a total of about 40 languages between us and celebrating the vast number of religious festivals across the year.      


We're very proud to have recently been awarded School of Sanctuary status and offer a safe place for refugee and asylum seeking students. 

If your family is new to the UK and needs additional support we can signpost you to charities and organisations that offer help in many different areas, from food banks to toys and clothing. You can find some of these listed on our

Family Support and Resources webpage. This handy Welcome guide for new refugees may also be useful.


You can read our EAL procedure here.

If you require any documents translated or this assistance of a telephone translator, please email k.eyre@sewellpark.org
