CONTEXT / BACKGROUND
Braes High School is fully comprehensive teaching S1 to S6 with a current roll of approximately 1,000 pupils. As part of our self-evaluation on How Good Is Our School? Quality Indicator: 1.3 Leadership of change, we explored resources and approaches which would support learners who would benefit from a flexible, adaptive learning environment.
WHAT WE DID
We created our new autism and dyslexia-friendly classroom which is a space for young people to successfully engage in learning when the mainstream environment is overwhelming. The Shore also houses our alternative to exclusion programme and is a hub of expertise for staff from across the school to learn about inclusive strategies that can be taken into their classrooms from nurture principles to dyslexia-friendly texts and beyond.
HOW WE DID IT
We consulted our staff and pupils to ensure that The Shore is a calming flexible space which meets their needs. It supports our pupils who have additional support needs and our staff who are supporting them in classrooms.
IMPACT / OUTCOMES
The Shore is designed by pupils for pupils. It offers:
- Flexible space for targeted intervention
- Self-regulation space and activities
- Increased engagement
- Positive relationship building
- ICT-equipped
- Sensory resources
- Senior Study space
- Alternative to exclusion
- Quiet space during social times
