Makaton Friendly Scheme

Jumeirah Primary School was the first school in the region to be awarded the prestigious Makaton Friendly School status. 

We are extremely proud that JPS is such an inclusive school. We constantly try our very best to ensure our school environment and community is a positive learning experience for all. The Makaton Friendly School status has been awarded in recognition of our efforts to make sure that those using Makaton feel welcome at JPS.

British Makaton is used by some of our children to aid in their communication skills and understanding of their world around them. Members of our teaching staff have been trained to use Makaton to help, whether it is a friendly greeting to a child, a symbol drawing to help in writing skills, a sign to aid in understanding what they are being asked in maths or a song or story told with actions to help with memory and for enjoyment. It all helps in promoting effective communication, language acquisition and independence.
