Special Educational Needs
A pupil has SEND (Special Educational Needs or Disability) where their learning difficulty or disability calls for special educational provision which is different from or additional to that normally available to pupils of the same age.
We have on site:
- a specialist ASC teacher
- a SENCo (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator)
- a Senior Learning Assistant
- a team of learning assistants
- a teaching staff of over 80, all with the duty of providing excellent education for all pupils
Autistic Spectrum Conditions Resourced Provision
De La Salle also has a secondary Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC) Resourced Provision, which provides education for pupils on the autistic spectrum who are of mainstream ability. Pupils are placed within the provision following the Special School Panel, in consultation with the school. The pupils within the ASC Resourced Provision are registered within De La Salle School and are part of their year cohort.
The SEND Department and the ASC Provision are based in the enrichment area of school. The area is open from 8am to 4.15pm offering a variety of enrichment activities to enhance the pupils' social skills, closely supervised by staff. These include a breakfast club, games, art activities, a film club and a garden area, for pupils to get involved in and to make friends.
