Leeds
Specialist Inclusive Learning Centres
(SILCS),
Partnership Schools and
Resourced Provisions
There are six Specialist Inclusive Learning Centres (SILCs) in Leeds. One in
each of the five areas of the city and a further SILC for children with severe
Behavioural, Emotional and Social Difficulties (BESD SILC). A SILC school will
provide teaching to children and young people who have severe and complex
difficulties and are unable to access mainstream provision.
If your child is functioning at a higher level and is academically able to access
mainstream school but still requires specialist staff, then they may be able to
attend a partnership school. A partnership school has teachers that are
employed by the SILC but work in a mainstream school.
A further option is a resourced provision, these are based in mainstream schools
and each one has its own specialist area, for example; speech, language
communication, moderate learning difficulties and severe learning difficulties.
Children are fully included in the mainstream school, whilst receiving the
specialist interventions they need to address their individual needs.
