In order for high quality teaching and learning to take place for every learner, there are many supports in place throughout Gleniffer High School, that teaching staff can access or engage with to support the learners within their classroom. In Gleniffer High School, we believe that variety, clarity, contextualised and effective approaches are needed for all successful teaching and learning. We believe that the construction of a programme of successful teaching and learning takes many different forms.
Some of these supports include the following:
· Additional Support Needs Assistants
· Classroom Assistants
· Educational Psychologist
· Home Link Workers
· Inclusion Support Workers
· Librarian
· Principal Teacher of Curriculum/Faculty Heads of Departments
· Principal Teacher of Data Literacy
· Principal Teacher of Employability
· Principal Teacher of Learning and Behaviour
· Principal Teachers of Pastoral Support
· Pupil Support Teachers
· School Counsellors
· SDS Workers
· Senior Leadership Team
· Transition Teachers
However, at Gleniffer High school we believe that the first educators to our pupils are parents and carers. Therefore, it is vital that we have a positive working relationship with families in order to support our pupils. Gleniffer High School have a House system where families are working with a team of professionals, throughout their child/children’s school career. This is to support their learning, development and ultimately achieve a positive and sustained post school destination. All staff have the highest aspirations for our young people.
