The role of the Calm Base is to offer social, emotional and behavioural support to pupils, primarily in the S1 – S4 year groups.

Since the base has been established there has been a 90% reduction in exclusions from the school for behaviour issues. It is the aim of the Calm Hub to promote positive behaviour within the school. With this in mind every pupil attends the Calm Hub at some point throughout the year for at least a short programme.  Support is then directed to the pupils who would benefit most from an input designed to support their needs.

The Calm Base runs various programmes focussing on the pupils literacy, Numeracy and Health & Wellbeing needs. Pupils can be referred of identified for these reasons, and then targeted support is put in place.

Currently the Calm Base runs a variety of programmes such as Cycling, journalism, nurture boys/girls groups, and targeted support with English and Maths for many pupils.
