Any pupil joining us in Airdrie Academy from primary school is bound to notice some major differences.
\n\u2022 The building is bigger, has many more pupils and staff.
\n\u2022 The school has some very specialised areas (e.g. Science Labs, Home Economics rooms andTechnology rooms).
\n\u2022 Pupils move around frequently between different teaching departments.
\nThese differences should not cause worry or concern for pupils joining us. However, to help pupils settle in and to support them the whole way through their secondary education we have a number
\nof promoted Pupil Support teachers who look after their welfare.<\/p>\n
Providing excellent, effective education is the responsibility of all staff. The Pupil Support Team in Airdrie Academy contributes to this by striving to achieve the following:<\/p>\n
1. To maintain a caring and welcoming school environment in which each pupil is known and valued.
\n2. To ensure that each pupil has opportunities to make full use of the school\u2019s excellent resources in the development of his or her own abilities.
\n3. To help prepare pupils for adult life and make informed and realistic choices about future careers, education and leisure activities.<\/p>\n
Airdrie Academy operates a vertical \u2018House\u2019 System. Generally pupils will work with the same Pupil Support Teacher and Focus on Learning Teacher throughout their time at Airdrie Academy.<\/p>\n
