Chapter 8: Promoting success in school
Summary

Primary and secondary schools in London show how they support the academic achievement of refugee children and young people, including those for whom English is an additional language. Strategies shown include the use of specialist staff, partnership teaching, activating prior learning, support for children’s wider needs, and family learning programmes. A secondary school in Cardiff demonstrates how a peer mentoring initiative has supported the success of refugee students.
