  My role is to support children with developing their speech and language needs. I work with class teachers and LSAs to support the delivery of activities provided by the NHS Speech therapists who assess the children in school. I have regular contact with parents to keep them involved in the process and track the children’s progress accordingly.

  During the school day I run a variety of nurture-themed interventions on a 1:1 basis and in small groups for children who need social and emotional support through playing games, discussion, and art activities. As a school we work closely with external agencies to help us identify children who need support and give us guidance on the best way to help our children and families in difficult times.
