Special Education Needs

Strong features of support for learning include: systematic identification of pupils with specific learning difficulties; sensitive support for individual pupils; well-planned arrangements for pupils requiring special assistance with examinations; informative advice to teachers on the learning needs of pupils requiring support; an appropriate range of programmes for pupils for whom English is an additional language; effective use of the expertise of external specialists such as educational psychologists and after school clinics run by a number of subject departments. The priority is to provide long term support for individuals and groups of pupils and to respond positively to the needs of pupils referred from individual departments. Teachers have been provided with briefings on issues such as dyslexia and the focus in the last year has been on helping departments adapt approaches and materials to pupils’ different needs. The department consists of two full-time members of staff with the help of three other teachers. The Head of Department provides specialist provision for pupils in the Junior House, Riley (ages 5-13). All pupils have screening tests on entry and extensive use is made of the arrangements available under both the English and the Scottish examination systems.
