Gwent Education Minority Ethnic Service

The Gwent Education Multilingual Service (GEMS) provides support for pupils in Years 5 to 11 whose home languages are not English or Welsh and may be at risk of underachieving at school.  

GEMS can provide home language support if we have staff who speak the requisite languages. The service can also:   

• Advise on teaching strategies, resources, assessment and general good practice for learners. 
• Provide free training on a variety of issues concerning BME learners. 
• Provide a resource lending service to all schools (Please telephone Claire Tyler on 01633 851501 or 01633 851505). 

For information, please contact your local school.
