We have transformed the way we provide targeted support for all of our learners at Lornshill Academy with the creation of our Learning Centre.

The Learning Centre embodies an inclusive, flexible approach to pupil wellbeing. There is a very wide range of support available and we aim to offer support that is pupil-centred and flexible to meet the individual needs of the young people in Lornshill Academy.

At the centre of all that we do, is the young people and we place a high priority on the students’ views and feelings about the support that they receive. The targeted support is for literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing. For us, therefore, flexible support for every individual is key.

 

Learning Centre Groups

 

Literacy and Numeracy Support

The Learning Centre offers enhanced Literacy and Numeracy support for pupils in S1 – S3, the pupils focus on reading, writing, listening, addition, subtraction and multiplication skills on a weekly basis.  This is a short term intervention which will either be one to one support or small group working.  The targeted support will last 6-8 weeks and the pupils will be assessed on the progress that they have made within this time.

Health and Wellbeing Groups

The Learning Centre staff work very closely with the Pupil Support team and target appropriate support for the young people at Lornshill Academy. This is groups such as social skills, nurture group programmes and bereavement support.  Staff communicate with parents or carers at home to ensure that the support is appropriate and at the correct time for the young person.
