An Additional Support Need comes from anything which is a barrier to learning.

 

​At Wester Hailes, we have five Pupil Support Leaders, in addition to a Support for Learning Leader, a Pupil Support SDO, a Support for Learning Teacher, and a team of Learning Assistants.

​The Education Authority has many legal duties towards pupils with additional support needs and you can find out more in a booklet called In On The Act : Information For The General Public, which is available at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/inontheact
