Language impacts all areas of life. Being able to create a narrative is an important skill. Great to be able to support these CYP in creating narratives and collaborating with @SurreySLTteam

CYP with language difficulties often struggle to create narratives. We are so proud of our yr 7 group creating great stories using their narrative planners and picture cues. Thanks to @SurreySLTteam for supporting us in our centre @deStafford #slcn #DLD #dayinthelife

Did you know that #DLD stands for Developmental Language Disorder & although it is a hidden disability it is common, affecting 1 in 14 people? That’s 2 in every classroom.
@deStafford we use key strategies to support our young people with #DLD #DLDDay #foodforthought

Congratulations to our class of 2024 on an excellent set of GCSE results. Particularly strong progress was seen in the proportion of students achieving a strong pass (5 ) in both English and Maths. A fantastic effort by all. We wish our students the very best for their futures.
