Autism Support Class (ASC) 

Our ASC was established in September 2020 to help pupils who have a diagnosis of ASD and Social communication transition successfully from primary school to secondary. The ASC provides pupils with a nurturing small group environment in which they can feel comfortable. 

​

It is staffed by a teacher and 2 classroom assistants as well as involvement from specialist subject teachers. 

Pupils in the ASC follow the same curriculum (including practical classes) as all of our other Y8 pupils but it is adapted for their academic needs. The ASC is equipped with both a sensory room and also a separate work area which gives pupils various safe places to go to if needed. 

​

Lunchtimes are supervised in our “HUB” area which provides opportunities for greater socialisation with pupils of similar need. Pupils can also avail of the many extended school lunch activities on offer.
