Bob's comment: Reminds me of the tower of Babel story, is this a nightmare or what?
Southfields Community College in Wandsworth UK, has pupils from around the world and speak no English.
The school has 1,300 UK and foreign pupils aged 11-18 - and 550 of these arrived in Britain speaking no English.
The pupils were first given a crash course in English before being introduced into mainstream classes,
Among the languages spoken are Arabic, Kurdish, Farsi (from Afghanistan) Kazak (Kazakhstan), Croatian, Zulu (South Africa), Swahili (Kenya) and Krio (Sierra Leone).
According to The Sun Headteacher Jacqueline Valin said: We've had an increase in the number of pupils from abroad what a racial mix.
