We are preparing young people for success now and in the future by developing skills and values through inspiring learning and teaching in a nurturing and supportive environment.
Pupil Care and Support Team
The PCS team have an open door policy and are located at a busy intersection of the school. We are housed in our own corridor with a Social Education room and various side rooms which provide areas to meet with pupils. There are three houses (Panmure, Dalhousie and Balmossie) and each house has 2 PCS teachers who are linked to a Depute Head Teacher.
Various partners also work within this corridor including the careers adviser, school nurse service, educational psychology and other partners. Pupils are encouraged to self-refer when they are in need of support but robust monitoring and tracking processes also mean PCS staff may identify potential areas of concern and may discuss possible supports with your child or contact home to discuss these with you.
This term we are looking at improving our communication with young people and parents. We are promoting different ways for your child to contact their guidance teacher.
We have three main ways for young people to contact their guidance teacher.
Pupils
-
Go to the guidance base- a timetable is there if no guidance teacher is available.
-
QR codes - which are situated around the school. Pupil completes a form and it will generate an email to arrange a meeting.
