Additional Support for Learning

The faculty aims to provide effective and appropriate support from Nursery to S6. This may be short-term or long-term, and may involve individual or small group sessions or in-class co-operative teaching. 

The team co-ordinates all efforts made by the school to assist pupils with their learning needs, including disseminating information, giving guidance on appropriate teaching strategies, liaising with teachers, the adaptation and provision of teaching resources, giving direct support where necessary and generally acting as an advocate for pupils. The team also co-ordinates the provision of assessment arrangements for external examinations. 

The faculty has three dedicated classrooms which the team can use for personalised intervention work, whether in small groups or on a one-to-one basis. Support also takes place within classes as appropriate.
