The Foundation Class

In the last few years the Education Authority has sought to provide pupils and parents with a greater level of access to Specialist Provision in Mainstream Schools across the region. This will provide greater access to inclusive educational opportunities for pupils with a statement of special educational needs.

As a registered Nurturing School, with an ethos that prioritises inclusion, Leadhill Primary School was excited to establish a purpose built unit providing learning experiences for children with a statement of special educational needs.

After a successful application, meetings quickly began and it was agreed that the Specialist Provision would be located beside P1, with a brand new outside classroom being provided for Pre School and our Wrap Around Care.

The project was also agreed to include a brand new multi purpose space for use by all pupils and new toilet facilities in the front corridor.

As with all building work, there have been hurdles and delays along the way, but we are delighted that the current expected date of completion is February half term.
