HBN is an inclusive school which is proud
to have both mainstream classes and a our Special Educational
Needs Unit, Orry's Room. Signalong is a communication charity
which teaches adults, children, toddlers and babies to use signs
to aid communication. These signs are always used alongside the
spoken words. When saying sentences, only key words are picked
out to sign. To promote children's understanding of others, we
use Signalong across our whole school. We have many Signalong
trained members of staff who embed the use of Signalong in
singing assemblies. Signalong assemblies enable children to learn
new signs through a memorable structure of a song, which they can
then apply to different contexts.
