This workshop session took place at the ITE/ECT 2025 Annual PGCE Conference Inclusion & Inspiration - Education for Social Justice. 17 January 2025. University of Manchester. In recent years there has been a rise in international new arrivals in schools in England. Depending on the location, some schools have welcomed a much larger proportion of these children, which has quickly changed the demographics of the school. In this session, Choen looked at a case study of a primary school in Greater Manchester which had welcomed many international new arrivals in recent years, with the majority of these children coming from Hong Kong. The session discussed both the challenges and opportunities these new arrivals brought to the school. It also highlighted the role of teachers in creating a more inclusive school environment to support these new arrivals.
