At Newlands we support our students to develop their spoken and written communication skills throughout the school day, from conversation skills at lunchtime to learning new vocabulary across the curriculum. Our speech and language therapist provides specialist support to students, and works in collaboration with the whole team to ensure that communication needs are understood and supported as part of the Academy’s universal offer .
