The Minority Ethnic Achievement (MEA) Team is a dedicated team within the School Improvement Advisory Service in Medway Council's Children and Adults - Learning and Caring Directorate. It supports Medway schools in raising the achievement of minority ethnic pupils. These include pupils:
- from minority ethnic backgrounds whose first language is English;
- for whom English is an additional language;
- who are refugees or asylum seekers;
- who are Travellers.
The team provides guidance and training and works in collaboration with schools and other council departments to promote and establish good practice in raising the achievement of minority ethnic pupils and in celebrating the cultural and linguistic diversity of Medway pupils. The team consists of an adviser for MEA, two consultants, a peripatetic teacher for new arrivals and a teacher for Traveller education.
