This programme is part of a universal offer to support children in primary and secondary schools whose communication may have been adversely affected by the pandemic and who will likely make progress in relation to their language and communication skills with intervention.

School chose a specific age group to support in the second half of the Summer Term:

Key Stage 1 (Years 1&2)Lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3&4)Upper Key Stage 2 (Years 5&6)Secondary school (Year 7 +)

A Language Enrichment champion is identified in each school to lead the programme. Often this is a HLTA.

Four bids requested S&L therapy. We were

able to fund an additional £50,000

from therapies funding

Nearly half of the bids (20 bids) were successful albeit some only part funded. 55 schools will benefit from this funding and over 13,000 pupils. The total amount allocated to schools was £321,000. Added to this 7 further schools benefitted from the Speech and Language Therapy funding of £50,000 meaning that 62 schools received some funding from this process.
