ISS@IMS say Thank You

Our ISS@IMS pupils, who are based at Corrie House, visited the  gym at Barrhead Foundry, as part of their SQA National 3 Wellbeing Award.
Pupils were given an induction on how to use all of the equipment, and then spent an hour on the equipment of their choice.
All of the pupils thoroughly enjoyed the visit and hope to now visit on a regular basis, with the school, and in their own time.

We would like to thank, gym staff, Hugh Coyle and Kenny McDonell for their input, which ensured all pupils got so much out of the visit.

Working closely with Scottish Autism, the airport’s
corporate charity partner for 2014, and disability equality
group Wideaware, Edinburgh Airport has developed the
‘Travelling with Additional Needs’ toolkit as part of a wider
support packageto help passengers and their families better cope with the what can be a daunting task of navigating their way through a busy airport.
