The social space this paper is concerned with is a particular school: it is local in that it ostensibly serves a local community in West London; however, it is global in that the student body is formed from families with connections all over the world. During an intensive period of 3 weeks, I observed a group of 12-year-olds in three classes: Maths, Humanities and English, two of which, Maths and English are exemplified here. All the children had arrived in the UK within the last 2 years. Through classroom observation and interviews with selected children and teachers, I document particular tensions, resistances and achievements that are part of the young people's growing sense of membership of the school and their wider role as new citizens of the UK. Goob bulsheedka uu qoraalkani ku salaysanyhay waa dugsi gaar ah: waa dugsi deegaan oo si muuqda ugu adeega bulshada Galbeedka Landhan; hase ahaatee, waa dugsi caalami ah oo ardada dhigata ay ka dhasheen qoysas ka yimmaadda meelo kala duwan oo dunida ah. Mudo hawl-qabad deg-deg ah oo socday saddex toddobaad, waxa aan isha-kala-socdey 12 arday oo dhiganayey saddex maadoo: Xisaab, Taariikh iyo Ingiriisi, oo laba ka mid ah, Xisaabta iyo Ingiriisi, halkan tusaale lagaga baxshey. Dhammaan ardadydu waxa ay dalkan yimaadeen labadii sanno ee u dambeeyey. Kormeerka fasalada iyo waraysi aan la yeeshay arada iyo barayaashaba, waxa aan arkay iska-hor-immad, diidmo iyo harumar oo run ahaan ah qayb ka mid dareenka koraya ee xubin-ka-noqodka dugsiga iyo doorka ballaadhan ee wadani cusub ee dalkan Isu-tagga Boqortooyada.
