LEARNING SUPPORT CENTRE
The Autism Support Centre (ASC) opened in September 2019 with the aim of supporting all ASD students to
access the curriculum, followed by the opening of our Learning Support Centre (LSC) in September 2021.
Both support centres enable our students to achieve their true potential in a caring and nurturing
environment.
Pupils with specific needs in ASD and MLD in Key Stage 3 have small group teaching and support for their
literacy based subjects as well as having daily morning nurturing sessions to prepare them for they day
ahead. These sessions involved the development of every day skills pupils will need to lead independent
lives. Key Stage 4 pupils receive daily tailored support to prepare them for their GCSE exams.
The Support Centre has developed a sensory room for those pupils who need a little time out from the school
day. The room is a quiet area with low lighting, soft furnishings and sensory toys that help to reduce anxiety
levels .
