Head of Faculty: Sarah McBride
The Learning Support Department offers a wide range of assistance for students from support in class and trialling for special assessment conditions. We work closely with learning areas, the pastoral team and guidance teams to support students with a variety of learning needs.
The Learning Support team works closely with the Integrated Studies department to offer a neuro-diverse Integrated Studies class for both Year 9 and 10. This class delivers the Integrated Studies programme but with a focus on metacognition and dyslexia-friendly teaching and learning strategies. It aims to support students to develop their own strategies for success.

This is a combined year 9 to level class. This class is for students who are working below their expected curriculum level. The course combines numeracy, literacy and some science in project based learning. Class projects will support students to achieve at their level and work towards filling gaps in numeracy and literacy.
