We are excited to announce that our school is participating in the Nuffield Early Language Intervention (NELI), a research-backed programme designed to enhance early language skills in young children.
What is NELI?
NELI is a 20-week intervention aimed at improving vocabulary, listening, and storytelling abilities in children aged 4–6. Delivered by trained teaching assistants, the programme involves small group and individual sessions tailored to meet each child's needs. Research indicates that NELI participants make 3–5 months' additional progress in language skills compared to their peers.
Why It Matters:
Early language development is crucial for academic success. By participating in NELI, we aim to provide our students with the foundational skills needed for effective communication and learning.
We are committed to supporting every child's language development and look forward to sharing the positive outcomes of this intervention with our school community.
