DEDICATED SPEECH & LANGUAGE UNIT

The Canterbury High School provides a Speech and Language Facility as part of its countywide provision taking students from the whole of South and East Kent. The Facility works within the Special Needs ethos of the school and the teacher in charge liaises regularly with the Learning Team, SENCO and any interested parties.

TEACHING STAFF

In the Speech and Language Facility there is a high adult-pupil ratio, 7 staff to 30 pupils; this includes a part-time Speech and language Therapist. Staff work together as a team to carry out assessments and to plan and implement language and learning programmes.

PASTORAL SUPPORT

All students are part of a mentor group with a facility teacher who liaises regularly with parents and interested parties. The facility rooms are supervised at all times, including break and lunchtimes, exclusively for facility students.
