Pupil Support ASN

Every young person gets help at school with their learning.  However, sometimes a young person needs more, or different, support so they can get the most from their education.  Your child may need extra support at school for a wide variety of reasons, it may only be required for a short period of time or throughout their school career.  Vale of Leven Academy’s Additional Support Needs Department provides a range of targeted support for pupils based on their specific needs, in addition to guidance and advice to parents, carers and other staff.  

Our responsibilities include:

·         One-to-one and small group tutorials

·         In-class support

·         Whole school staff development/training

·         Collaborating with partner agencies

·         Management of Staged Intervention and Educational 

Support Plans (ESPs) SQA Alternative Assessment Arrangements
