Speech, language and communication is an important part of a child’s life throughout their education.

This page will be updated with information and posters about any tips to support your child’s Speech, Language and Communication development, as well as what we are doing in School to support these areas. There will also be information on the newsletter and displays around the school for parents and carers to look at.
