The Shine a Light Awards are designed to recognise individuals and teams that have excelled in their support of children and young people’s communication, particularly for those with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN).
Run by the Communication Trust and supported by Pearson Assessment, the awards took place last month when a total of 20 prizes were handed out across a range of sectors, including education.
The Secondary School of the Year award went to Hampstead School in London in recognition of its consistent promotion of “active listening and effective speaking among staff and students”.
The school, which has a senior leader for SLCN, has worked for six years with the local authority’s Speech and Language Therapy Team to deliver its Listen-EAR programme – EAR standing for enjoy, achieve and respect.
