Firs Primary School has a small specialist class which specialises in social communication and complex learning difficulties. The class is for key stage 2 (junior).

There are 10 pupils in the class with one teacher and one teaching assistant. All pupils have an EHC plan for a range of special educational needs including difficulties on the autistic spectrum, learning, sensory and developmental difficulties.

Small Specialist Classes (SSC) in Trafford schools were created to ensure pupil's additional needs were met within a mainstream school. Staff are experienced and trained in the particular specialism of the class as well as general special and additional needs.

Pupils from the SSC often spend time in the bigger classes in the school when they show themselve able to cope with the social and educational demands of the mainstream class in particular areas of the curriculum.

Pupils from the SSCs are fully integrated into the general life of the school.
