We have a Total Communication approach, recognising that every student has a unique way of expressing themselves. We value all forms of communication equally.

This could include:

• Speech
• Sign
• Gesture
• Objects
• Pictures
• Behaviour

We endeavour to ensure every student can be understood and express their needs confidently.

Our environment is inclusive and supportive, and designed to offer continuous opportunities for communication throughout the day. Staff are trained as communication partners and model each student’s personalised communication system.

Working closely with families and speech and language therapists, we promote consistent and functional communication across all settings, enabling students to engage meaningfully with their world and achieve their full potential.
