Additional Support Needs

A learner can have additional support needs for any reason that prevents that learner fulfilling his or her potential. For example, additional support may be needed for a child or young person who:

• is being bullied

• has behavioural or learning difficulties

• is deaf or blind

• is particularly able or talented

• is bereaved

• is not attending school regularly

• is living with parents who are abusing substances 

If you as a pupil of Blairgowrie High School, or as a parent of a pupil, feel that there is an additional support need that we do not know about, please contact the school and ask for your child’s Guidance teacher in the first instance.
