Episode Twelve - Welcoming New Arrivals with Christina Hingley:

Christina Hingley is an authentically passionate Modern Foreign Languages educator and whole-school co-ordinator at Firth Park Academy, a diverse secondary establishment located in the vibrant city of Sheffield. With more than 60 nationalities and over 30 different languages spoken amongst the student cohort, Christina leads a number of projects to help with language development including developing a full-time New to English intervention, organising in-class mainstream support, and teaching ESOL lessons to KS4 students. Recently, Firth Park Academy’s EAL cohort has evolved to include a growing number of Refugees, particularly Unaccompanied Minors and Looked After Children, and so she has taken on the new challenge of developing pastoral and trauma-informed student support to foster an inclusive, safe, and welcoming learning environment.
