Last night I attended a governors meeting at Longbenton Community College (LBCC) where we listened to an extremely interesting presentation from staff working in the school's new 'Melrose Centre', a centre for students with autism and autism-spectrum disorders (ASD). The aim of the Melrose Centre is to bring students with ASD into closer contact with students in the everyday school community while making sure they have a safe place to go. The presentation was followed by a tour of the facilities, which are first rate. It's an embodiment of why LBCC is such a great school and why I am so proud to be a governor there.
