Learning Support Department

The Learning Support Department is central to learning within our all-ability, integrated school community. It also serves to underpin the pastoral care and wellbeing of all our young people. As a school, we are fully committed to supporting each individual child to achieve their potential and remove barriers to learning for students of all abilities.

The Learning Support Department is made up of six teachers delivering a range of courses from Essential Skills Literacy, OCN Personal Effectiveness and Wellbeing, Prince's Trust, and Peripatetic teaching.

We also have a Learning Support Administrator and the input of a dedicated newcomer support teacher, as well as a team of highly dedicated and professionally trained Classroom Assistants, who work in support of our students with Statements of Special Educational Needs and their subject teachers.

At present there are 270 children on the Special Educational Needs Register with 106 of these holding Statements of Special Educational Needs. 1464 children attend Lagan College.
