The Faculty is also home to Enhanced Provision which provides significant support for pupils from S1 to the senior phase. Pupils in Enhanced Provision follow a timetable where their curriculum is individually created to suit their level of need. The ASL teachers have an instrumental role in ensuring that pupils gain appropriate qualifications and skills. To achieve this, we work closely with all faculties to ensure that pupils experience their subjects in class with their peers.

In addition, the faculty organises all SQA Assessment Arrangements. In S3 all pupils who have a registered support need or have been referred by teachers are assessed for Additional Assessment Arrangements. This entails collecting evidence from subjects and a computerised assessment, which gives an indication of the arrangements best suited to the pupil. This is then discussed with the pupil and shared with all teaching staff. We review the arrangements each year through the collation of assessment evidence in accordance with the SQA. All arrangements are registered with the SQA before the final assessment in April/May.
