Support for Learning  

Mission statement 

The role of Support for learning is to ensure that every learner, regardless of barriers to learning, has a meaningful education at Calderhead by ensuring that relevant provisions are put in place for them as and when necessary. We are guided by local and national policy such as Getting it Right for Every Child (Girfec)and North Lanarkshire Council’s own Staged Intervention Model, both of which are underpinned by the Additional Support for Learning Act, The Equalities Act and The Education Act (Scotland 2016). Through these articles, we are compelled by law to make the reasonable adjustments necessary to make our physical school environment and our curricular experiences accessible to our young people. By doing this we create an ethos of belonging and nurture that applies equally to all our young people.
