This might include:

• receptive or expressive disorders or delay

Admissions:

There are currently 18 funded places allocated for speech and language within Southfields Primary School Hub.

Currently the school has 36 pupils who have accessed the provision and moved off it in the past due to the fantastic progress and parents have then selected to leave the pupils within the school and parents have asked that they remain with us in school. 

Applications are considered by a panel  and admission is dependent on:

• number of places available
• fulfilment of admissions criteria (see below)

Parents, teachers, TAs, SENDCOs and anyone else with an interest in supporting children with C&I needs are very welcome to visit.
