This room has two main focuses. Intervention support for students requiring additional support including SEMH
Students benefit from a nurtured provision if they need a bit more support at times.
Mrs Clark is our Autism Champion and is a key worker for our ASD students. This is the safe space for those students. Lots of students check in with Mrs Clark in the morning and at the end of school, this often helps then focus and offload at the end of a day. Mrs Dawson is our link within the ASET team and she works closely with Mrs Clark and our ASD students.
Edukey Lead
Students come to the PLC to complete interventions such as Lexia, Toe by Toe or other none educational support interventions. Students also work in here who may have an injury or need to catch up on some work in other subjects.

The numbers of students in here changes on an hourly basis.
