Airdrie Academy values the contribution that every young person can make and we are committed to ensuring the best possible progress for all of our pupils. The Support for Learning Department seeks to remove barriers to learning in order to raise the achievement of pupils that may have difficulty accessing learning.

The purpose of the Hub is to help and support pupils to acquire the necessary learning and confidence skills to cope with School. There can be many barriers that can have an impact on learning and the Hub is an element of support available to the young people at Airdrie Academy.

The Hub works in partnership with all the departments across the school to support the young people in all areas of the curriculum as well as social and emotional development.

The Parents Views
‘The hub has been a tremendous support for my son and it is now a lifeline. I would even say he would never have returned to school without the hub being available. It was the intervention of the hub and it’s approach that opened up the possibility of interaction with the wider school community.~~He would not have achieved his current results without the help and support from the School.’
