Children are taught in groups and work according to their ability.\u00a0 At times pupils’ may show <\/span>specific learning skills or difficulties.\u00a0 It is important to remember that some pupils’ <\/span>may experience some difficulty in the course of their school career or may show a strength <\/span>in a certain area of the curriculum.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

However, where pupils’ show specific difficulties or strengths <\/span>he\/she will be supported by the class teacher or, in some cases, the additional needs support teacher <\/span>will be asked to make an assessment of a child’s difficulty or strength to ensure the pupil <\/span>is given a programme of work which meets their needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The school may also seek advice and guidance from Psychological Services but parents’ will <\/span>always be advised if referral is necessary.\u00a0 We also enlist the support of North Lanarkshire Council’s Bilingual <\/span>Support Unit where necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Support given to pupils’ reflects Learning and Leisure Services staged intervention process, that is:-<\/span><\/p>\n

UNIVERSAL- Internal support, where education staff identify that a child or young person needs support or planning which can be met within the existing classroom or playroom setting.<\/span><\/p>\n

ADDITIONAL- Internal support, where education staff identify that a child or young person needs support or planning from within the <\/span>school or early years establishment. They may require<\/span> External support from within Learning and Leisure services.<\/span><\/p>\n

INTENSIVE- External support provided on a multiagency basis, where the child or young person’s needs are identified as requiring support or planning from multiagency services and these support needs will last for more than a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Langloan Primary School has the assistance of a school psychologist who visits approximately once a month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further assistance can be requested from the Inclusion Base, Literacy Base, Health Specialists and the SAM Group, <\/span>which can support children through the use of computers.\u00a0 Pupils’ who have English as an additional language <\/span>can have additional support through a specialist teacher.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looked After Children i.e. children who are cared for directly or whose care is supervised by the local authority <\/span>are deemed to have Additional Support Needs unless assessment determines otherwise.\u00a0 The Head Teacher <\/span>is responsible for children under the care of social work department.<\/span><\/p>\n
