OSFTED Inspection report
Tudor PrimaryI have been using the new Plant and Animal Cells lesson with my Science Intervention groups and it’s great. It’s challenging but since we have already done the basic differences between the cells the lesson consolidates the students’ knowledge and works as an extension. Thank You!
Kasia Talbot
EAL Coach, Holly Lodge SchoolI just wanted to say what a great time we are having with the Learning Village! It is such a fabulous resource!
Tammy Marsh
EAL Teacher, Amity International School, Abu DhabiThe Learning Village has provided our school with a very practical, individualised learning tool for EAL students, with a clear curriculum, structure and pedagogy. This allows both more and less experienced staff can use to effectively support students’ language development. There is a wealth of materials and resource available, as well as plenty of support and training to help optimise our use of the tool.
Alistair Harding
EAL Coordinator, Holly Lodge High SchoolAs a school, we are proud to be part of Learning Village and have seen the improvements the students are making in their EAL learning. We would recommend every school to be part of Learning Village as it is an essential tool that offers valuable resources not only for EAL learners but for all.

Stacy Allen
Lead of Nurture, Colton Hills Community SchoolThe Learning Village is going great. The children absolutely love it and I have to say I’ve been enjoying and learning as I go along. We had a Teaching and Learning Review at our school the other day and I used the Learning Village to demonstrate how we support our EAL pupils. They seemed very impressed and actually spoke to the Local Authority Advisor about how well the Learning Village was being used at our school.

Overall I love the concept of the Learning Village- making friends highly motivated my students and they loved exploring the village. the graphics are wonderful.
Vicki Wilson
Year 2 EAL teacher and EAL Team Leader, YCIS HK PrimaryA student arriving from overseas being 18 years old and having limited oral skills and no reading or writing. He really felt pleased being able to use the Learning Village for self-study, without feeling conscious in front of the others in the class.
Shirley Rowe
Head of Department, ESOL, New Plymouth Boys High, New ZealandThe Learning Village has proved to be a good intervention programme for our EAL children and SEN. The children are very enthusiastic about using it, and are becoming more independent. We use it as an intervention throughout assembly in the morning and in some afternoons, when some of the learning is irrelevant to them and they would benefit from that more. It is clear that the children are making progress...
Sam Mobbs, Class Teacher
Oasis Watermead Academy, UKI see the children relaxed and happy when they are on the Learning Village. I can see that they are proud of their progress and feel a sense of achievement which they can share with others. I think that there are a lot of good EAL ‘games’ available but this is a comprehensive programme that can be integrated into any curriculum.
Laura Haines
EAL Coordinator, International School of Milan, ItalyA really fantastic resource. We can't wait to start using it with our pupils.
Ellen Copsey
Assistant Head Teacher, Willow Bank Primary, UKIt is a delight to see a resource that has grown out of good practice in schools.
