The Speech & Language Specialist Provision provides intensive speech and language therapy for children having been identified as having severe and specific difficulties in this area of development.

All children are in a mainstream class and have the opportunity to work in small groups and individually with a Learning Support Assistants providing Butterfly support where and when appropriate. We believe a combination  of a rich learning environment and excellent role models for talk within the  mainstream classroom, provides the best opportunity for the children to develop their communication skills.

We also have regular speech and language therapy sessions using the Online therapy service Mable and a bespoke follow up programme for each child.  Click here for more information on Mable 

We also offer Face to Face therapy, support and follow to pupils from  a school Speech Therapist Ginette Henderson.
