Singing and signing
Description
It's morning assembly. Over 400 pupils and staff at Carden Primary School are singing and signing the school song. Carden is one of the few schools to use Makaton symbols and signs from British Sign Language throughout the school.With 44 per cent of pupils with SEN, the staff, all Makaton trained, have found the strategy invaluable for inclusion as well as being useful to the most able pupils.This programme analyses how to implement school-wide signing and how it helps. Headteacher Lesley Corbett explains that it was the success of pupils in the school's Speech and Language Centre using signing that influenced her decision to introduce it into the mainstream.
