Our school is dedicated to supporting every student’s communication skills through building their social and communication, speaking, listening and oracy skills.  We use quality first teaching and ordinarily available inclusive provision (OAIP) to promote speech development within the classroom. If concerns about a child’s speech and language or communication persist, school will explore targeted support and interventions to promote speech development and communication skills within the classroom. We will also support parents with strategies and resources that you can support your child with at home too.

It may be appropriate for some children, to seek additional specialist support by referring to Trafford Speech and Language Therapy . By working closely with parents to combine all of these approaches, we create an inclusive environment where all students can thrive and confidently express themselves.

SALT Padlet

To support families at home, here are the links for Trafford Speech and Language Service support Padlet, providing a bank of practical resources that parents can refer to before making a referral to the Speech and Language Service. These resources include guidance sheets, activity ideas, and strategies for supporting speech sounds, vocabulary, listening, and attention through everyday routines. Using these tools consistently at home, alongside support in place at school, can often help address early concerns and ensure that, if a referral is needed, school can already evidence the support that has been put in place.
