Support for ethnic minority children
In Nottinghamshire we are committed to helping our schools meet any additional needs of black and bilingual pupils, as well as children from Traveller communities through the support of the Ethnicity Culture and Achievement Service (ECAS)
The ECAS Service employs a number of teachers and other staff with special skills who are able to provide schools with advice and support to help black and bilingual pupils get the most out of their education. This includes help for pupils for whom English is not their home or first language.
The ECAS Service can be contacted on tel: 0115 854 6026 or email: ecas@nottscc.gov.uk
Nottinghamshire County Council, through the Nottinghamshire Traveller Education Service (TES), is also committed to the provision of appropriate educational opportunity for all Traveller children residing in the county, whether temporarily or permanently.
Further details can be obtained direct from the service on tel: 01636 680380 or via e-mail: tes.team@nottscc.gov.uk
