A London comprehensive has opened an on-site Communication Centre to support more than 100 pupils with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) and offer training to schools across the country.
The Michael Sterne Communication Centre at Lampton School in Hounslow will support students from across the borough.
The centre was opened by Edward Timpson, the minister for children and families, last week and will offer 16 places for pupils with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) and support a further 90 pupils who have SLCN.
The centre is to be staffed by specialist teachers, speech and language therapists and higher level teaching assistants. The team will work closely with other schools in London and across the UK to support best practice in improving provision, including offering professional training.
