Intensive Support Provision

 

The Intensive Support Provision is an integral part of Crieff Primary School, which enables the additional support needs of each individual pupil to be met through a continuum of integrated experiences.

Our practice is based on the understanding that integration in classes is a process through which we can meet the needs of individual pupils educationally, socially, and personally. Due to the complex nature of each pupil the needs may be at a different point or stage in this process. Progress can only be achieved through small incremental steps. Children’s needs for integration will be planned for, monitored, and recorded through their individual planning processes.

 

In Crieff Primary we currently support a number of children through the Enhanced Learning Class who have a range of needs, some consistent with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. The class provides a more dedicated space, equipped to meet the specific needs of children at all stages in their learning from Primary1 to Primary 7.

 

The Principal teacher is responsible for supporting our children to allows us to:

 

  • provide effective and consistent support to children in school
  • provide enhanced and effective support to families
  • develop whole school process in developing an effective communication environment for learners
  • develop outreach support programmes to help build capacity to support children with difficulties consistent with a range of Neurodiverse and physical need, in their own mainstream primary school.
  • Maintain and develop effective collaborative working with allied health professionals and colleagues across Education and Learning.
