Across the country, English is a foreign language is more than one in seven primary children - nearly half a million.
The figures from the Department of Children, Schools and Families pointed to the huge demographic changes over the decades. About one fifth of students from ethnic minorities - up from 11 percent in 1997.
There is concern that the school's financial distress as more and more young people need help with English.

The figures indicate that many new arrivals have settled in London. Lowest population of young people with English as a second language in the South and West North East.
Sir Andrew Green, from Migrationwatch think-tank, said: "These figures confirm the huge impact of immigration happened to our society.
As tight as the government funds them, this would have a negative impact as children with English as an additional language will require additional fees. "
He added: "In inner London it is difficult to know who the children of immigrants who should have to integrate with because they are exceeding the number of local children."
The numbers reflect the five-fold increase in immigration since the ruling Labor Party. Net immigration has increased from 48,000 in 1997 to 237,000 in 2007.
A DCSF spokeswoman stressed that the figures' show only language that was originally affected children in the home, regardless of whether they speak English fluently in the future. Only a relatively few new entrants to the acute problem of communication. "
"We are increasing funding in the Ethnic Minority Achievement Grant to £ 206million in 2010, to bring students weak in English up to speed. We also equip schools to offer effective English as an Additional Language teaching for new arrivals."
