Sarah McKay

I am the Lead Speech and Language Therapist and part of the Senior Leadership Team within the school.  Before joining SMBS I worked in a range of other special schools and NHS services supporting children and young people with communication needs.

It is vital that students are supported to reach their full potential, and the Therapy Team aim to do this by taking a holistic view of each young person, working collaboratively with staff and families, and embedding good practice across the day. We use evidence based practice to inform our clinical decision making, and stay up to date with continued professional development to ensure that the support offered to our students is appropriate and effective.

We welcome contact from families. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us by calling the school or emailing therapy@stmarylebonebridgeschool.com.

Rosie Anderson

Before joining SMBS, I worked as a speech and language therapist in various NHS services supporting children and young people with communication needs. During the week, I also support students at SMBS's sister school called St Marylebone C of E School.

I like to use a holistic approach to identify how to best support each young person with their language and communication needs. This type of approach enables us to support students with various aspects of their lives, such as their relationships with others and their wellbeing. I aim to integrate evidence-based practice into the support, which is provided to the young people at SMBS.

India Ogun

I am an Occupational Therapist working collaboratively with SMBS through the Westminster Training and Outreach Service, Occupational Therapy Team. I have previous experience working within the home, school, and hospital settings both in Australia and the UK.

Two days a week, I provide specialist support to the students at St. Marylebone Bridge School. I support both universal strategies accessible to all students and tailored supports for those students with specific needs. Additionally, to this I provide specialist input for students with Educational, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs) that include Occupational Therapy within their outcomes.

My holistic, child-centered approach focuses on helping children achieve their personal goals, using evidence-based practices and close collaboration with families to enhance their overall well-being and independence.I believe it is important that every child has the opportunity and support to succeed and achieve the goals that are meaningful to them.
