Ethnic Minority and Traveller Achievement Service
Devon Ethnic Minority and Traveller Achievement Service (EMTAS) is a dedicated multi-ethnic and multilingual team, with over 20 years’ experience of working closely with Devon schools to remove barriers and inequalities in attainment and achievement.
This service works alongside schools to help improve educational outcomes for children and young people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic and Traveller heritages, as well as those learning English as an additional language (EAL).
They provide expert advice, guidance and training to help raise attainment and close the performance gap for these children and young people from ethnically diverse and Traveller groups.
Their approach is flexible and responsive, giving you the right level of support when you need it.
Some useful contacts from the team include:
