Specific speech and communication strategies as outlined in the Becket Top 10 teaching strategies implemented by all teaching staff in all classes
Additional teaching strategies may be implemented as the teacher’s knowledge of your child’s need becomes more detailed
Visual aids such as timetables (class and individual), signs, symbols, gestures, cues to support key vocabulary, concepts and instructions
Access to additional in-class Teaching Assistant support
Each term, your child will have a pupil progress meeting with their class teacher in which they can discuss their progress, their difficulties and agree new targets
Access to assessment for identification of a special need
During the autumn term in Reception, all children are screened using the Language Link Profile. This is an assessment which helps identify children who may have a delay in their language development and provides programmes of support
A further Language Link assessment is undertaken in the summer term to assess progress of those children who accessed support programmes. Further assessments can be undertaken in Year 1 if necessary.
