il Support Policy – Policy & RationaleNational & local guidelines‘Our aspiration is to enable all children and young people to develop theircapacities as successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens andeffective contributors to society’ A Curriculum for ExcellenceIn line with ‘A Curriculum for Excellence’ we aim to deliver a “broad and generaleducation”.We aim to deliver this with particular attention to:1) Health and wellbeing – “Learning through health and wellbeing promotes confidence, independent thinking and positive attitudes and dispositions. Because of this, it is the responsibility of every teacher to contribute to this”2) Literacy – “Literacy is fundamental to all areas of learning as it unlocks access to the wider curriculum. Being literate increases opportunities for the individual in all aspects of life, lays the foundations for lifelong learning and work, and contributes to the development of all four capacities of Curriculum for Excellence”3) Numeracy – “Being numerate helps us to function responsibly in everyday life and contribute effectively to society” A Curriculum for Excellence‘Our agenda for action is built on our belief in the potential of all the youngpeople and our commitment to help each of them realise their potential’ Ambitious Excellent Schools (SEED 2004)Key aims in Ambitious Excellent Schools include; Providing choices for young people and children to realise their own potential fully. Giving teachers and schools freedom to tailor learning to individual needs. Developing personal support systems to ensure that all young people, including those in challenging circumstances, have equal opportunities to benefit from learning.
il Support Policy – Policy & Rationale (continued) ‘The Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004/9 offersnew opportunities to promote better life chances for all of Scotland’s children.Its key function is to ensure that children and young people who need additionalsupport to benefit from school education receive that support. Additionalsupport is defined as provision which is additional to or otherwise different fromthe provision made generally in mainstream schools’ Focusing on Inclusion (SEED 2006)Key elements of West Lothian’s holistic approach to provision of services include: Early identification of need. A coherent system of assessment. Effective coordination of planning and support. Targeting of resources. Locality planning. Regular review of support plans. ‘A Continuum of Support’ – West Lothian Council
James Young High SchoolIn line with National and Local guidelines, The James Young High School is an inclusiveschool. We aim to ensure that a robust and flexible mechanism is in place to meet theneeds of all pupils, particularly those with Additional Learning Needs/Additional SupportNeeds.The James Young High School is committed to the ‘Presumption of Mainstream Education’for all and will in every case seek to support pupils in this context. The James Young HighSchool is in every sense a Learning Community. As such we are committed to providing aneducational experience that is appropriate, meaningful, stimulating and rewarding for allpupils. Where a pupil experiences difficulties accessing the curriculum class teachers will tryto assist by differentiation of materials and approach.Class teachers can resolve many problems. This is done through creative and effectiveclassroom management. Experienced teachers through effective preparation of curricularexperiences and appropriate learning materials will anticipate some difficulties. CurriculumLeaders and Principal Teachers are key managers of this process and exercise a supervisoryrole through their departments.Some pupils will have mild, transitory needs that will require only temporary support.Others will have more significant and complex difficulties. These needs will be met withinthe James Young High School via a Learning Plan (LP), an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or aCoordinated Support Plan (CSP). This will help to target resources effectively. Fullconsultation with parents will play an important part of this process.There is an Additional Support Needs Summary (ASN) on the Shared Resources folder withall additional support needs listed for our pupils. A flagging system on Seemis alerts staffwho can access information in pupil folders via a hyperlink.Our aim To ensure an appropriate and effective learning experience for all pupils. To take the lead in the development of strategies and mechanisms for the provision of support for pupils with Additional Support Needs and implement GIRFEC model. To provide information, strategies and assistance for teachers of pupils with Additional Support Needs. To provide high quality and effective support for pupils experiencing social, emotional, behavioural and/or learning difficulties, using a staged intervention approach and the assessment of wellbeing (SHANARRI wheel). To provide a framework for collaborative working, where staff based in the school, the cluster, and other agencies, parents and pupils work together in planning, implementing and reviewing individual support programmes; To provide a forum for inter-agency strategic planning of the school’s Pupil Support Policy. To provide a means of collecting data which will inform decision-making by the Local Authority, Psychological Service, Social Work, the Scottish Children’s Reporter,
Area Attendance Group (AAG) & Senior Officers Review Group (SORG) concerning the provision of support for pupils experiencing significant difficulties.The main components of the Pupil Support structure are:Depute Head (Support)PTC Support/House HeadAssistant House HeadsMonitoring & Tracking StaffPupil Support ManagerPrincipal Teacher SupportPrincipal Teachers CurriculumClass TeachersPupil Support Workers – both for learning and supportPupil Helpers (S6 programme)ParentsCommunity Education/CLD StaffCYPTSocial WorkSchool NurseSchool DoctorEducational PsychologistOther Agencies – as required including West Lothian Behaviour Support Service, Outreachteaching for Looked After Children, behaviour and health.
SE SYSTEM OVERVIEWIn The James Young High School we have changed the way we organise pupil support, and it is nowbased on a house system. This means that each pupil is allocated to a class which meets for 10minute each morning. This is known as a personal support class. Each class is linked with a housegrouping which has a House Head, an Assistant House Head and a Pupil Support Worker.It is hoped that the House team works with the same pupil from S1 to S6, and in time, pupils fromthe same family will have the same House Head. Wherever possible, the pupils are taught Personaland Social Education by their House Head or Assistant House Head.In addition, all pupils are supported by a Pupil Support Manager who provides the link with externalagencies, and a Pupil Support Worker who oversees late coming and attendance.Where appropriate, additional support is provided by the support for learning team which consistsof teachers and pupil support workers. The nurture team also works with our more vulnerablepupils.Our autism resource provides specialist support for up to 18 pupils and is also staffed by bothteachers and pupil support workers.A significant number of external agencies work with our pupils, staff and parents where this isrelevant to the pupil’s needs.All of our pupils are part of our House structure – sometimes known as a ‘vertical’ structure.The whole area of pupil support is line managed by the Depute Head Pupil Support, Mr DesUrquhart.

ged Intervention Process : Continuum of SupportLevel 1 In Class & Departments/UniversalThe teacher registers concern, and employs strategies in line with the school’s PositiveDiscipline Policy to provide support in the classroom. This may be in consultation withother staff in school (Pupil Support Team).It is also important that classroom teachers engage in CPD opportunities suited to meetingthe additional support needs most likely to arise in the classroom.Referral to Level 2 will be dependent on evidenced outcomes of targeted early interventionat Level 1which may have involved modification to the curriculum/environment.Level 2 Whole School/AdditionalIf Level 1 intervention has not succeeded in fully addressing the concerns, other school-based resources will be employed to identify and provide appropriate support. Such pupilsmay require Level 2 support, and will require on-going monitoring by the pupil supportdepartment. Parents will be more heavily involved. The relevant members of the PupilSupport Team will meet with additional relevant people and agencies where appropriate.Staff will complete a Wellbeing Concerns Form and consider a Child’s Planning Meeting. AnIEP may or may not be considered to be necessary at this point.Level 3 EnhancedAt this stage the child’s additional support needs requires targeted input from two or moreagencies.Using the Assessment of Wellbeing process and the Child’s Planning Meeting process, aLead Professional will be identified.A Child’s Planning meeting will be called at this stage using information collected.All pupils at this stage will have an IEP.Level 4 IntensiveIf level 3 intervention is not successful then progression will be made to Senior OfficersReview Group (SORG)
