What do your bilingual DC do during English lessons at standard (non-bilingual) collège? Do they just get a break/bored or do the teachers get them to do something special?
Our eldest starts in September and as far as I am aware will be the only mother tongue English child at the school until sibling starts in a couple of years. In primary our DC are teacher's helpers during English lessons but they only do it a couple of times a week. In collège it'll either be 3 or 4 hours a week.
I'll be seeing the deputy head to discuss next week and am keen to know how this is approached in other schools. I'd be willing to set DC tasks to do during this time and mark them myself if the school didn't have a problem with it.
