<p>The government is wholly committed to ensuring that refugees who are resettled
in the UK receive appropriate support and have a positive experience while they remain
in the UK. Children with refugee or humanitarian protection status have access to
the education system in the same way as citizen children.</p><p>A key factor in the
successful integration of children from overseas into UK schools is their access to
English language provision. Local authorities can include an ‘English as an additional
language’ (EAL) factor in their funding formulae. Funding allocated through this factor
forms part of the school’s core budget and it is for school leaders to determine how
best to use their whole budget so that all children can reach their full potential.</p><p>Schools
will need to demonstrate to Ofsted that any special educational needs of refugee children,
as with all other children, are addressed satisfactorily.</p>
