Centre of Excellence
Valley Invicta Primary School at Holborough Lakes has achieved the Scheme for Schools and Settings Centre of Excellence accreditation status.
The report stated, in summary, ‘We were blown away by the commitment to SCLN, the quality and range of examples and the recognition of impact evidence.’
The Balanced System® for Schools and Settings is a whole system approach to improving outcomes for children and young people across the range of speech, language and communication needs.
The scheme provides an overarching set of outcomes, processes and outcome measures across the core five strands of the Balanced System®: supporting parents, young people and families; enhancing and adapting the environment; developing the workforce; identifying need; and providing appropriate intervention.
The Balanced System® for Schools and Settings provides a school or cluster of schools or early years settings with the tools, mentor support and peer support to ensure that they are making the best of resources to support speech, language and communication across the school or setting for all children as well as those with specific needs. Good speech, language and communication skills underpin development in the early years and attainment across the curriculum.
