Nepali, Polish and Portuguese Phone-lines

Do you have Nepali, Polish or Portuguese recently arrived students in your school?

Then you will probably find our communication links useful. Their purpose is to provide an interpreting, translation and information service for schools, for parents with questions relating to the education system and for Nepali, Polish and Portuguese students with questions about their homework (or other educational matters).

Please call the numbers below if

• You would like a bilingual assistant to relay a message to a parent/student with limited English

• You would like to arrange a translation to be made, bearing in mind that translations require a great deal of skill and are therefore extremely time-consuming. (Letters/information which is standardised across a cluster/group of schools, or short, urgent notes or letters can often be translated free of charge.)

• You would like information on the countries of origin of your students, their customs or language.
