Therapies
We have close links with the NHS Speech Therapy team and they based on site one day a week and are heavily involved in supporting pupils, parents and staff.
We also have links with other NHS services such as OT, Physiotherapy and 0-19 school nursing service, and they visit pupils in school in line with the local NHS offer, however, they are not based on site.
The NHS in Wilmslow is under East Cheshire NHS Trust, whereas Crewe is under Mid Cheshire NHS Trust.
Speech & Language Therapy
There is a team of two that make up the SALT team, and they are based in school one day a week, and cover all of the pupils under the service in school.
Our SALT service can provide the following services in Springfield:
- One-to-one speech and language therapy - Typically one-to-one sessions will be delivered by a Speech and Language Therapist or Assistant in a room away from the classroom.
