Literacy LEAP Bronze Award for LHPSN staff! 

The award is based on the Special Educational Needs and Disability  Code of Practice and places emphasis on the practice of ALL teachers in ALL classes across the school. It celebrates best practice in identifying and supporting children who may be at risk of dyslexia, and other speech and language difficulties, and helping them to achieve their potential.

The criteria for the award was developed by  a national steering committee made up of teachers, local authority advisers and parents/grandparents of children with speech and language difficulties.

Led enthusiastically by Miss Hateley, our Assistant SENDCO ,language base teacher and dyslexia tutor, we have been able to raise levels of knowledge and awareness across the whole school, from the Governors and senior leaders to teaching and support staff. We hold the award until 2021 and are already preparing staff for the Silver accreditation.
