ESCAL Communication Friendly School: Quality Mark

Accreditation Visit – 2nd July 2015  Dobcroft Infant school values the quality of communication, continually developing it by building in increasingly sophisticated vocabulary choices to further extend the children’s lexicon for learning. 

 

Throughout the school, communication is valued and prioritised. It is recognised as a life skill, permeating all areas of the curriculum and underpinning school life as a whole. Children are provided with a rich range of opportunities to develop and extend their skills.
