Rachel Coe studied classical clarinet at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, graduating in 2018, before completing her Masters in Music Therapy at the University of the West of England in 2024.

I'm Chris Mountfield an Independent Speech and Language Therapist. Richmond Hill School employs me directly to work with staff and students on both sites.

Sometimes, I support school staff to interpret and set up activities suggested by the NHS SaLTs that visit school. I support school staff to increase their skills to help their students develop communication throughout the school day, every day.

NHS SaLT

Elizabeth Torres

I am an NHS employed Speech and Language Therapist who works with children to understand and support their speech, language, and communication needs.

I carry out assessments to identify how a child communicates best and where they may need extra support.

I provide focused blocks of speech and language therapy, set clear targets, and work closely with teachers to support communication in the classroom and across the school day.

Total Communication

Kerry Rees

I established Marjorie and Me in 2016 with the intention of supporting children and their families who have the most complex needs.  As a Makaton Tutor, I facilitate sessions at Richmond Hill School for staff, children and parents. 

Part of my work also includes looking at all the communication approaches we use to support children to have a voice, make choices and be as independent as possible. 

This includes photos, objects of reference, self-advocacy sessions, transition planning and girls groups.
