Learning Assistants support and facilitate pupils’ educational, personal and social development under the direction and supervision of the class/subject teacher. Duties include:

• Providing in class support for pupils with ASN
• Encouraging and supporting independence in pupils whenever possible, thus promoting pupils’ confidence and self-esteem
• Supporting pupil mobility
• Providing assistance with personal care
• Assisting with the movement of equipment for pupils with ASN
• Reading/scribing for class assessments

Learning Across the Curriculum is available for pupils with ASN as a subject option in S3 and S4 though it may be offered as a curriculum modification for some pupils in S1 and S2 if there are significant barriers to learning.  Pupils are supported to complete homework and subject revision in addition to working on basic skills in literacy, numeracy, ICT and health and well-being.

Pupils who choose to continue with the Learning Across the Curriculum option into S4 are enrolled in the Prince’s Trust Achieve Programme.  This is a project based course which helps develop skills for life, learning and work while working towards attaining a Certificate in Personal Development and Employability at SCQF Level 3, 4 or 5.

Further information about the course can be viewed on the Prince’s Trust website via this link.

Homework support is available in the department at lunchtime every day.

The Wellbeing Resource here at Lenzie Academy provides support with social, emotional and behavioural needs.  The Wellbeing Support Base known as the ‘HUB’ (Happy Understanding Base) has a warm and welcoming environment where pupils feel safe and secure.  We strive to make every pupil have a feeling of connectedness to the school and provide them with opportunities to gain skills to enable them to do their best in and out of school.

Young people participate in bespoke wellbeing groups such as;

• Building Resilience
• Pro Social Group
• Nurture Group

Other group details can be found in our ‘Support Groups Information leaflet’

These groups and individual interventions are created through recognised educational research.  Pupil, parents, carers and staff are further offered support by the Wellbeing Support Resource providing:

• Daily Breakfast club
• Work with primary schools to ensure smooth P7 – S1 transition
• Working directly with enhanced transition pupils
• Delivery of one to one supports and interventions aimed at improving pupil well-being
• Delivery of the Prince’s Trust Achieve course
• Behaviour Programme in partnership with the Community Resources Team
• Delivering social skills support in liaison with education colleagues
• Individualised intervention to support pupil well-being
