The Small Learning Community (SLC) is a positive, inclusive learning environment specifically designed and equipped to support children with a range of communication and interaction needs. This can include children with a diagnosis of autism, speech and language difficulties and children who present with challenges in their social interactions.

​

The SLC is taught by Mrs Stewart who is a specialist communication and interaction teacher and is a very exciting place to be!  

 

The SLC comprises of a calm, low arousal classroom environment (which includes opportunities for sensory regulation), an outdoor learning classroom and a sensory room. Provision within our intervention rooms is designed to develop skills and understanding that require teaching beyond those not generally available in mainstream classrooms. These include:

• Language and communication skills

• Social/emotional awareness and relationship skills and understanding e.g turn taking, respecting   the needs of others

• Independence and self-help skills

• Appropriate learning behaviour

• Making choices and decisions

​

Below, are the individual unit overviews for SLC parents and carers. These detail what children will be learning in each unit - and how you can help at home! Each term these are updated in advance to reflect any changes which have made to our curriculum. 

​

If you have any questions about the curriculum in The SLC, please get in touch with Mrs. Stewart, who will be happy to talk about all of the exciting things planned!
