Language Stream
The Knowl Hill Language Stream, which runs throughout the school, provides additional support for those students who have a higher level of speech and language therapy (SLT) needs.
The students in the Language Stream are taught in tutor groups with age matched peers. They are timetabled to receive the following speech and language therapy input:
- 2 x 30 minute individual SLT sessions per week, plus Occupational Therapy (if appropriate).
- Additional small groups and class based interventions are delivered as required.
- In class support for 60 minutes per week (by a LSA or SLT) in order to support the student to use strategies within the classroom.
There is close liaison between teaching staff and therapists to enable students to access the curriculum and to develop their independence, communication skills, friendships and self-esteem.
