Season’s greetings from all of us to all of you as the term finally closes. We’ll be back here from Thursday 2 January and happy to hear from you. In the meantime, our website is cram-full of guidance, case studies, webinars, reports and podcasts... https://bit.ly/4bzXRms

Here are a few reasons to explore our range of webinars on catch up! Recent topics include dyslexia, transition dips, implementing #WellComm Primary, developing a love of reading, and #SLCN.

When Birmingham City Council initiated the Developing Local Provision (DLP) project in September 2021, the Eastwards Consortium chose to focus on speech and language development. This new case study by Hanif Ur-Rehman and Susanne Humpage explains why they chose #WellComm Digital, and shares their strategies for introducing it into the schools. With sample reports, practical advice based on their experience – and some fantastic outcomes – this is an inspiring read. https://bit.ly/3ZFOY89 #SLCN

“It’s like adding subtitles to the school day for children with #SLCN.” Sophie Dawes’ blog about helping pupils with speech and communication needs is our most-read article of 2024. In it she shares simple tactics that can really help support children with less severe #SLCN who may not otherwise be receiving support. #WellComm Read it here: https://bit.ly/4eeeVR1

We can’t eliminate statistical terminology from our reports, but we can make sure it’s easy to understand. Comparing pupils’ reports from multiple assessments is especially powerful at identifying hidden potential or problems – which is where ‘discrepancy categories’ come in.

🌍 What does volunteering and giving back look like at GL? 💙 We believe in the power of giving back. That's why every team member is given five volunteer days each year to support local schools, charities, or causes close to their heart. 🙌✨ We empower our people to make a difference, whether through contributing time, resources, or energy — and it’s all part of our broader commitment to creating positive change. 🌱 In addition to supporting causes close to us, we’re dedicated to reducing our environmental impact and advancing sustainability across our operations. 🌿 https://bit.ly/3A9mOIC #IVD
