ELKLAN was born out of a passion for supporting children and young people with speech, language and communication needs.

Early Years at Hedworth Lane Primary is in the process of becoming an accredited ELKLAN provider that supports the communication and language of all children.

Due to the dedication and hard work of the EYFS team, we are proud to be on the way to becoming a ‘communication friendly setting’. Our staff are now equipped with the knowledge, skills and strategies to create a setting that enhances and develops children’s communication, creating a rich learning environment for all and supporting children who have communication needs.

At Hedworth Lane Primary School, we value the importance of conversation between adults and children; giving them time to listen, respond and grow.
