đź“š Learning Through Communication
At our primary school, we believe every child deserves the tools to communicate confidently and effectively. Speech and language development is a vital part of learning, and we work hard to ensure that pupils who need extra support receive it in a caring and structured way.
đź’¬ Why Speech and Language Matters
Speech and language support doesn’t just help with talking—it strengthens listening, understanding, and social interaction, which are essential for success both inside and outside the classroom. Our school continues to provide an inclusive environment where every child’s voice is heard.
