Additional Support for Learning

At some time during their school career most children benefit from a little extra support. This could be if they are struggling with a particular mathematical concept or if they are particularly bright and need a greater challenge.

If it is felt your child would benefit from some extra help in Literacy, Numeracy or their social and emotional development then they will be given the opportunity to receive support in class from our Pupil Support Assistants (PSAs). We have three PSAs at Lochcarron; we also have an Additional Support Needs Teacher who visits the school every week on a Tuesday.

In some instances children will follow a modified school curriculum at their own pace whilst others will only receive a little extra support during class lesson time.
