George Tancred Centre (GTC)

The centre is a local education authority provision. Many pupils travel to school using the LEA transport service.

All pupils have a statement of special educational needs and an individual education plan (IEP). Pupils receive speech and language therapy (SALT). Some pupils receive occupational therapy (OT).

Planning incorporates SALT, OT and IEPs into the delivery of each curriculum subject whenever possible. Other professionals advise on programmes of learning to be incorporated into lesson plans.

In addition to autism, some pupils may have other developmental disorders such as Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder, learning difficulties and dyslexia.
