ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR LEARNING All children and young people have the right to get the support they need to reach their full learning potential. In Scotland, we have an inclusive educational system which focuses on overcoming barriers to learning and Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC). Some children and young people need additional support to benefit fully from their education. Additional support needs can arise, in the short or long term, from a variety of circumstances including: the learning environment family circumstances health or disability needs social and emotional factors Mainstream education - Scotland’s inclusive approach to education enables all children and young people to be part of a community, boosting their emotional wellbeing and aiding the development of social skills. Children and young people should learn in the environment which best suits their needs and inclusive practice is important whatever the setting, whether it be within a mainstream or special school. The presumption of mainstreaming enshrines the right of all children and young people with additional support needs to learn in mainstream schools and early learning and childcare settings.

PUPIL SUPPORT 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. Meet the Team FORM TIME The purpose of form time is to support and build positive relationships with each and every member of the form class. It allows for a form tutor to meet with the same class every day and provide support around attendance and wellbeing. The Form classes are in House zones so the child's guidance teacher will be on hand to check in with their classes.
