Govan High School

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
