Speech and Language Therapy
- Our school works to support speech, language and communication with support from our NHS link speech and language therapist (Christina Eakins) as well as specialist teachers. Your child may come into contact with Christina within their classroom or around school. Mrs Elderton (our SENCo/Inclusion Manager) will have regular meetings with our link therapist to discuss our school's provision. If you have any concerns about your child's speech, language or communication skills, please speak to their teacher or Mrs Elderton. From this discussion, we will decide together whether to discuss this with our link therapist. You will be kept informed about any plans to support your child.
