Pupil Support

Pupil support is everyone’s responsibility, but in order to offer the highest quality of support to all of our young people, we have an integrated team of staff who undertake a variety of roles. Our key focus is on equipping our young people with the skills to learn, grow and thrive. 

Our core team for 26-27 is comprised of the DHT Pupil Support, three House Heads, three Pupil Support Workers (aligned to Clover, Heather, and Thistle), a Curriculum Leader for Support for Learning, a Support for Learning teacher, and a team of ASN auxiliaries.  

All of our young people have access to support for their learning within an inclusive classroom environment and around the wider school. All young people also have a Homeroom teacher who supports them with key aspects of the school day such as wellbeing, attendance and school routines.

All teaching and support staff access continuous professional learning to enable them to meet the needs of learners. 

The Brae is our Severe and Complex Needs provision, to which places are allocated by the local authority. We work in close partnership with our friends in the Brae to learn from each other and provide the best support we can for young people with ASN.

Pupil needs are shared between professionals are part of our transition processes. However, should you need to let us know about any changes for your child that may impact on them at school, please contact your child's House Team in the first instance.
