Welcome to the Glencryan School webpage.
Whether you are a parent/carer, pupil, family member, friend or simply finding out more information about the school, we hope you find it useful and informative.
We are very proud of our School Community and our children and young people are at the heart of everything we do. Our dedicated team of Teachers, Additional Support Needs Assistants, other school staff and wide range of multi-professionals who work closely with us, ensure that we strive to deliver the best possible outcomes for all children and young people in our care.
In Glencryan School we pride ourselves on being an inclusive learning community, where the values of respect, compassion, honesty and equity are central to everything we do. A positive, supportive ethos is fundamental to all aspects of the work of the school and results in a welcoming, nurturing and safe environment where all members of the school community are valued. Our learning community extends far beyond the school gates and we engage with a wide range of partners and with parents in supporting all aspects of learning. We are highly regarded in the local community.
Our shared vision, ‘Learning Skills for Life through Quality Experiences,’ permeates the work of the school. We are committed to providing all of our children and young people with an extensive range of learning opportunities both within and out with school.
Glencryan School is located in Cumbernauld and whilst our catchment area is Cumbernauld and Kilsyth we welcome pupils from across North Lanarkshire, at all stages. As an Additional Support Needs school, our pupils have an increasingly wide range of additional support needs. We are dedicated to ensuring that all learners are supported to achieve their potential and staff address all barriers to learning.
The children and young people who attend the school are aged 5 -18+ have a wide range of additional support needs. The school has a Primary Department (P1–P7), a Secondary Department (S1–S3) and Senior Phase (S4-S6).
Our vision and values are clear and vitally important in everything we strive to achieve within the school:
Vision Learning skills for life through quality experiences in Glencryan School
