The Oak Room
The Oak Room is funded by Pupil Equity Funding which the school receives from the government. It is first and foremost a nurturing space where pupils who experience different barriers to their learning can get support. These barriers might include self-regulation (anger) issues, family problems; social difficulties; low school attendance; limited life experiences).
The Oak Room offers a range of interventions including nurture group sessions for those most in need.
The Oak Room staff also offer a wider range of supports for families.
We are supported by Moray Foodbank to operate a food larder from the school. Where families are finding things a little tight financially, we deliver food parcels every two weeks and also in emergency situations.
For those who like to recycle and upcycle, we also have a rail of donated clothes including school uniform, shoes party clothes and winter jackets.
We also participate in the Mission Christmas programme with Moray Firth Radio so we are in a position to make referrals for families where Christmas is difficult financially. Details will appear on the Xpressions App nearer to Christmas.
