Makaton Level 1 & 2. 27th January & 3rd February 9.30am – 4.30pm

Makaton is a unique language programme that uses symbols, signs and speech to enable people to communicate. It supports the development of essential communication skills such as attention and listening, comprehension, memory, recall and organisation of language and expression. With Makaton, children and adults can communicate straight away using signs and symbols.

With Makaton, signs are used with speech in spoken word order. Using signs can help people who have no speech or whose speech is unclear. Research has shown that signs and gestures are easier to learn than spoken words. This makes sense. Babies use gestures before they can speak, to tell us what they want. For example, they might point at the biscuit tin or hold out their arms to be lifted up. Children and adults can use Makaton to let others know what they want, make choices, share information and understand more. This helps build and develop important communication and language skills.

Children and adults who have difficulty understanding and speaking often become frustrated or withdrawn. Young children may communicate this through behaviours such as screaming and kicking; older children and adults may shout or hurt themselves. By using Makaton, we are helping them to communicate in a more acceptable way.

School-Based Nursery Capital Grant

The UK Government is committing £15million to expand the provision of School-Based Nurseries (SBNs) across England. Applications are now open to state-funded primary schools that already offer some early education, such as a reception class.
Schools can bid for up to £150,000 of funding to use solely for capital expenditure, to convert surplus space within a school building so that it is suitable for nursery provision.

For the purposes of this grant, SBNs can operate as:

• nursery classes embedded in a school
• nursery units led by governors or academy trusts
• childminders and private, voluntary, and independent nurseries contracted to deliver nursery provision on a school site, or operating on a school’s behalf

The funding can be used for a range of capital measures including:

• conversion of a building within the school estate
• renovation, refurbishment and refit of existing school space into nursery provision
• upgrading or carrying out alterations to essential systems such as heating, plumbing, fire alarms and electrics
• purchase of equipment
• improving outdoor spaces, such as playgrounds
• project team Technical Advisor fees and survey costs

Focus of fund/fund aims:
Grants to expand nursery provision within schools
