Learning Support

Here at Scots we accept that a number of our students require support if they are to achieve their academic potential. Students diagnosed with Specific Learning Disabilities or Deficits i.e. Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD, Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia will have an Individual Support Plan (ISP) prepared for them outlining strategies that classroom teachers can use to support these students.

To ensure that students can achieve their academic potential in assessment situations a range of support strategies may be included as part of a student’s ISP. This support may include the provision of extra time for assignments, tests and exams; using their Computer instead of handwriting for assessments, assignments and exams; the provision of a Reader/Writer in tests and exams.
