Enrolment

Croftcroighn is an establishment for children with additional support needs (ASN). Placements within ASN establishments are awarded by the Area Inclusion Group (AIG). Requests for an ASN placement can be made by an existing local authority Early Years or Primary Provision, or by an Educational Psychologist. The AIG is made up of a number of professionals who decide whether a child’s needs would be best met at an ASN establishment. Sometimes children with complex health needs may be referred to the AIG if their local mainstream establishment is unable to offer the medical input required.

Children may enrol in the school or Nursery at any time during the school year, subject to the availability of places and with the agreement of the AIG.

Before enrolling in the school parents will be invited to visit with their child so that they have an opportunity to see all of the educational, therapy and health facilities as well as meet their new teacher and class.

At this meeting the Headteacher will answer any questions and explain how we will work together to meet the needs of your child. This will include information on the structure of the school day, different teaching approaches, specialist resources and the multi-disciplinary support which your child may receive from a range of Allied Health Professionals (Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech & Language Therapists and Medical staff).

Shortly after this a pre-admission planning meeting will be arranged so that we can ensure we have all the important information from you and other professionals who have been supporting your child. This allows us to provide the most supportive transition and positive start at Croftcroighn for you and your child.

If the above steps have not been taken then parents must enrol their child at their local mainstream school as a first step. Registration of Primary 1 children takes place in November and is advertised widely in local press etc. Enrolment is now conducted online. Enrolment forms and more information can be found on the Glasgow City Council website
