Communication and interaction is an essential part of everyday life and it is an area of learning we heavily promote.  Some of the ways in which we achieve this are through:-

• PHSE Lessons where children are given opportunities to talk about feelings/thoughts. See our PHSE page for more information
• Interactive Assemblies
• Talk for Writing - enabling children to imitate language needed for their writing
• Social/interactive Playground Games
• Sunshine (Nurture) Group.  See our Sunshine Club Page
• Social/Communication and Interaction Interventions

Children and young people with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) have difficulty in communicating with others. This may be because they have difficulty saying what they want to, understanding what is being said to them or they do not understand or use social rules of communication. The profile for every child with SLCN is different and their needs may change over time. They may have difficulty with one, some or all of the different aspects of speech, language or social communication at different times of their lives.’ SEND Code or Practice 2015, Paragraph 6.28.
