Visit to Sky College – Learn@ Multi Academy Trust

Sky College recently joined the Learn@ Multi Academy Trust. It is a specialist educational provision catering for boys aged 10 to 17, with complex social, emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties.

ChildSpeech were asked to carry out a review of Sky College in relation to speech, language and communication needs (SLCN), to help the school prepare for the 2021-2022 academic year.

Lexi-Jo, one of our Speech and Language Therapists, had a successful visit to the school last term. Lexi-Jo spent some time observing and assessing children in the classrooms and offering advice to staff. She also got to meet the school’s onsite Alpacas – Spangle, Kirsty and Sapphire, who are used within therapeutic interventions to support students’ emotions, behaviour and mental health.

A key part of our role is to help settings support children and young people with SLCN. You can find more information about the services we offer to schools here
