Tor Bridge High scoops SLCN award

Inclusion
A mental health café, pupil-led assemblies, expert staff and a whole-school approach to speech, language and communication needs have resulted in a national award for a Plymouth secondary school.

Tor Bridge High School has won the Secondary School or College of the Year at the annual Shine a Light Awards.
Shine a Light is run by the Communication Trust and Pearson and aims to highlight the work of teams, settings and individuals across England who support young people with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN).

Tor Bridge has its own inclusion department featuring a Speech and Language Support Base, a Learning Support Centre and the Tamar Learning Centre, which provides support for pupils’ social, emotional and mental health needs.

The expertise of the staff working across these three strands is shared across the school, with all staff encouraged to continuously identify their pupils’ needs and supported with CPD.
