Our Bell Foundation Licensed Practitioners (BFLPs) are available to support schools with
any individual or group of children struggling with English acquisition. An initial school
audit will determine the best pathway for your school. The audit can be used by an
individual school, it can be supported by a BFLP working with the school and the school
could opt to continue to work with a BFLP in drawing up an implementation plan.
Any school is welcome to make an appointment and come in to see how we are
supporting our own children with EAL to make effective progress. Contact us to find out
how we can be of help.
