This study explored the experiences of recently arrived Latin American parents to the UK related to their children's education, to highlight how these experiences can inform educational practice. A small-scale qualitative design employed semi-structured interviews to give voice to five parents who had each arrived in London after time spent living in Spain. Thematic analysis led to four key themes: ambition, sacrifice and the high value placed on education; language difficulties; feelings of powerlessness; and cultural adaptation. The implications emerging from this study centre on how educational psychologists (EPs) can act as a bridge between schools and a local migrant community by drawing on their knowledge of both second language development and the psychological experience of migration. There is also a role for EPs in advocating for the practical needs of recently arrived parents and responding to power imbalances to ensure their inclusion within the school community.
