Growing with Gaelic

Gaelic is the sole language spoken in Fàs Mòr by all staff, with the provison that English may be used to settle children in and to give instructions in matters affecting health and safety.

​

Children will be encouraged from the beginning to express themselves fully to staff and to each other even if they are only able to do this in English. They will acquire an understanding of Gaelic largely through being immersed in it, in other words, through hearing it spoken while they are doing their day-to-day activities.

Comann nam Pàrant provides further information on Gaelic and bringing children up bilingually and a variety of resources and useful linkscan be found on the Gaelic4Parents website.
