British School Teaches English as a Foreign Language to All Students

A British school in Leeds has been caught teaching English as a second language to all pupils, since no one there speaks it as a first language.

This is great news, as it will enable them to communicate more easily with the welfare office, and aid them as they distribute ethnic foods from their stalls.

From the Telegraph:

A comprehensive school where native English speakers are in a minority is to start teaching English as a foreign language to all of its pupils.

Teachers at City of Leeds School, a multi-ethnic secondary plan to teach English as a second language even to its British-born pupils in a radical attempt to improve standards at the 314-pupil secondary judged to ‘require improvement’ by Ofsted.

Head teacher Georgiana Sale said the school was having to “rethink the way we do things” because less than a quarter of pupils have English as their first language and the majority of the children were new to the country within the past four years.

She said it had been decided to include pupils who have English as a first language in this programme because in the “vast majority” of cases their level of formal English was not good enough to allow them to achieve top grades at GCSE.

Last year, just over a quarter of its pupils achieve the national benchmark of five good GCSEs, including English and maths – one of the lowest scores of any state school in Yorkshire.

However Ms Sale it was unfair to expect the school to reach national averages in English when so many pupils were new to the language. She said it did achieve national targets in both science and maths despite the language barrier being faced by students.

Pupils of Pakistani heritage make up the largest group at City of Leeds School, where 55 different nationalities are represented by the student body, and there are also large numbers of children from Czech, Roma and Traveller backgrounds.

There are also pupils from nations across Africa, Europe, China, and parts of the Middle East and Africa.

You may feel as though your entire ancient culture and society is being destroyed by these people, Briton, but I ask you: what type of ethnic food choices would you have if you were to send all of these people back to their own countries?

She told the Yorkshire Post: “Many of our pupils are not only new to English but they are not even literate in their own language. In some cases we are the first people to put a pen in their hand.”

Ms Sale said that ensuring children could all speak, read and write English was crucial. “Around half of our children are new to the country within four years.
