# Our Young Interpreters

  ![Image of Our Young Interpreters](https://files.schudio.com/belfield-community-school/images/news/YI_Scheme.PNG)  27 November 2018

It's never easy starting a new school but imagine if you don't even speak the language?

The Young Interpreter Scheme®  (YIS) provides additional support to pupils who are learning English as an Additional Language (EAL), to their families and to schools. The scheme supports any new EAL arrival children to help them feel welcome from the start.  Young Interpreters are empathetic friends who help others become familiar with school routines and develop confidence in their new environment.

We are proud to present our Young Interpreters as they share a little bit about themselves...
