provide refugee pupils with educational support to enable them gain full access to the National Curriculum;
support and advise the staff of the School regarding the education and welfare of individual refugee pupils and the refugee community as a whole;
provide out-of-school activities for children in a relaxed but structured setting, which will give opportunities for play and sport, creative activities, socialising with their peers and with sympathetic adults, developing their communication skills and self-expression, and enjoying constructive leisure time;
expand children's experience, knowledge and enjoyment of their environment through visits and trips;

act as a model of good practice and share Salusbury WORLD"s experience by offering training to other schools and institutions wishing to respond to the needs of refugee children, and by publishing relevant material;
