Glasgow
Govan High Language & Communication Resource (LCR) is co-located within Govan
High (mainstream) School. The LCR opened in 2003. It is a citywide provision to
support young people, of secondary school age, who have a range of language and
communication needs, related to their Autistic Spectrum Disorder diagnosis. The
current LCR role is 34 pupils. Although our LCR pupils experience challenges
related to their ASD, the majority are academically capable of accessing the
secondary curriculum, with support. The curriculum will be the similar to that
being offered within Govan High. At Broad General Education stage pupils will be
taught mainly by LCR staff within the LCR classrooms. All S1 – S3 pupils access
PE, Modern Languages and Science in Govan High School using Govan High School
teachers, supported by LCR staff. At Senior Phase (S4 – S6), students have the
additional option of accessing part of their curriculum through school-link or
vocational courses at FE Colleges within Glasgow. This is in addition to courses
being offered in both Govan High School and the LCR. LCR staff support pupils
academically as well as promoting the acquisition of social, organisational and
independent living skills. A number of staff are also trained to offer support
with mental health, sleep, bereavement and emotional regulation issues
