The strength of home-school links are always a priority for school leaders, but those with parents with English as an additional language (EAL) are particularly important.

Research suggests that enabling parents and carers to feel like active stakeholders and contributors to their child’s education is important (Goodall & Montgomery, 2014) and that the learning that happens at home is an important factor in pupil achievement (Desforges & Abouchaar, 2003).
