Aiming High, Working Together
It was lovely to welcome everyone to our first Total Communication pupil group of the session. We got to know each other and discussed what total communication means and what it should look like in our school. We also talked about what ideas our group had to develop and promote total communication across the school.
We are excited for all the fabulous work we are going to do to develop total communication in Chatelherault Primary School.
