SLIC – Specialist Resource Provision

SLIC is Langafel Church of England Primary School's Specialist Resource Provision (SRP) for autistic pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). 

• S – Striving
• L – Learning
• I – Inclusion
• C – Connection

Our vision is simple: every child should feel safe, understood, valued and able to thrive. We celebrate neurodiversity and recognise that every autistic child has their own unique strengths, interests and ways of communicating, learning and experiencing the world.

SLIC currently provides places for up to 30 pupils across four specialist classes, supported by a highly skilled team of teachers and teaching assistants with expertise in autism and inclusive practice. Alongside our classes, we also offer targeted intervention and personalised support to ensure every child receives the provision they need.

Learning is carefully adapted to meet each child's individual profile. While many pupils access the National Curriculum, teaching is delivered through autism-informed approaches that reduce anxiety, support communication, and build confidence. For some pupils, learning is further personalised using engagement-based and functional curricula to ensure meaningful progress in all areas of development.

Communication, emotional wellbeing, independence, self-advocacy and positive relationships are valued just as highly as academic achievement. We recognise that autistic children communicate and socialise in different ways, and our role is not to change who they are, but to help them develop confidence, understand themselves and successfully navigate the world around them.

SLIC is an integral part of Langafel Primary School. Pupils enjoy access to the full range of school facilities, experiences and enrichment opportunities, while benefiting from the security and specialist support of the provision. Inclusion is thoughtfully planned around each child's strengths, needs and readiness, enabling pupils to access mainstream learning and wider school life in ways that are meaningful and successful for them.

Our inclusive ethos benefits the whole school community. Through learning alongside one another, children develop understanding, acceptance and respect for individual differences, creating a school where diversity is celebrated and every child belongs.
