UK Teachers Express Concern Over Migrant Resources
A headteacher whose SATS results placed her school in the top five per cent nationally has called for more resources. Gillian Coffey from Lynch Hill School was celebrating last week after receiving an improved result in the Standard Attainment Tests (SATS) taken last summer by year-six pupils.
However the head of 11 years is calling for more cash to help cope with the rising number of migrant children in her school and others across the Slough borough where the number of children with English as a second language is 48 per cent. She said: “We are very pleased with the results that show the hard work of both the children and staff. Last summer we began to feel the effects of the mobility of families more obviously in the new intakes.
