The Welcome Centre

This Centre offers language support to newly arrived non-English speaking pupils aged Y5 upwards and has been open since December 2002. Although previously for children from asylum-seeking and refugee families, the Centre now admits other children new to Rotherham eg. children from the new EU countries.

The children stay at the Welcome Centre for periods up to a term and the staff facilitates the children's admission to primary or secondary schools. The staff liaise with families as well as a range of other agencies eg Gate Surgery, the Asylum Team etc.

The staff comprises one teacher and two Educational Support Workers.
