"Daventry Hill School primarily serves the community of Daventry and the surrounding areas in the South West of Northamptonshire. We are a co-educational all-through (4-18) school for pupils with cognition and learning difficulties. Almost everything we do involves communication; everyday tasks such as learning at school, making requests, sorting out problems, making friends, having fun and creative expression and choices. These all rely on our ability to communicate with each other. At Daventry Hill, we have staff who use Makaton to support communication with some students.”

“At our school, some of us use Makaton to communicate with each other. Makaton is a language programme that uses symbols, signs and speech to enable people to communicate. With Makaton, signs are used, with speech, in spoken word order. Let’s learn some Makaton!”

 

Using the links here, learn some signs or symbols in Makaton that communicate something about what you are doing with your day today – or something that you would like to do today.
