This includes a ‘joystick’, which can be used to perform and compose music and is particularly good for pupils in wheelchairs or those with limited motion.
A report from Ofsted has revealed that primary schools are having to teach infants how to communicate, as they struggle to make friends or cope with lessons because of speech and language difficulties.
In order to prepare young people for their future, oracy should be the fourth “R” of education – of equal status to reading, writing and arithmetic, according to a new report.
