At St. Peter's we run Speech and Language (S&L) intervention groups for children who require additional support in this area of their development. Miss Bishton is our specialist S&L TA. She is ‘ELKLAN’ trained and undertakes the interventions. Miss Bishton also liaises with both NHS and private S&L therapists to review individual pupils’ progress and set new targets to work on. The groups are fun and informal and the children really enjoy taking part in them.

Some groups focus on developing children’s understanding and use of language by using activities and games involving making choices, giving and following instructions and asking and answering questions, such as 'who, what, where and when’.

Other groups help to develop the children's articulation of sounds in their speech. These involve activities that help the children to make a range of sounds and highlight the movement of their mouths as they make the different sounds. The children are also encouraged to listen carefully and repeat the sounds aloud.We run Speech and Language (S&L) intervention groups for children who require additional support in this area of their development.
