The new Learning Support Centre is designed as a welcoming haven for students seeking a quieter, more relaxed environment during break times and lunchtimes. It offers a space where students can unwind, socialise, and engage in various activities away from the hustle and bustle of the playground areas.
The LSC is an inclusive and resource-rich space designed to cater to the diverse needs of students. Whether they are looking to relax, engage in fun activities, read, use technology, or focus on their homework, the centre provides a supportive environment to enhance their school experience.
De La Salle College is dedicated to providing an inclusive education for all our students. Our primary approach focuses on delivering high-quality first teaching, ensuring that every student can achieve their potential regardless of their ability or starting point.

A large part of the role is also assisting teachers and pupils in the identification of SEN. The SENCo also applies to exam boards for any relevant Access Arrangements for exams.
