A first language other than English should be recorded where a child was exposed to the language during early development and continues to be exposed to this language in the home or in the community.
If a child was exposed to more than one language (which may include English) during early development the language other than English should be recorded, irrespective of the child's proficiency in English.
In the case of an older pupil who is no longer exposed to the first language in the home, and who now uses only another language, the pupil or parent can determine which language should be recorded.
