Department Aims
Our Integration Centre is one of Glasgow’s co-located units. The unit is a local authority provision for young people from across Glasgow with additional learning needs. The needs of young people attending the centre arise from a wide range of factors. These include autism, social and emotional needs, adverse childhood experiences and learning disabilities. The local authority identifies children in primary schools who would benefit from opportunities to access mainstream classes through the Area Inclusion Group. The majority of young people live in the local learning community, and others travel to the centre from elsewhere in the city by taxi.
Curriculum
Led by a principal teacher, there is a strong, inclusive vision for the centre’s young people in the school and wider community. Young people engage in a BGE from S1-S3. The aim is to integrate these young people into mainstream by the senior phase. All the centre staff are highly committed to ensuring the best possible outcomes for the young people placed with them. They collaborate actively with mainstream and wellbeing hub colleagues to ensure inclusive experiences for learners. The principal teacher should continue to involve young people and other stakeholders in developing the Integration Centre’s own vision and aims.
