Welcome to the pupil support department. It is our role to support all pupils in Ardrossan Academy, allowing them to achieve. This support can vary from pupil to pupil and also from one year to the next. All our pupils are entitled to receive help to ensure they benefit from school. This applies whether a pupil has a well identified need which will persist over time or a more short term need. At any time during a young person’s life some extra support may be required. This may be due to difficulties with learning, issues with health – either short term or long term. Or it could be an emotional issue. Any of these issues may be a barrier to a pupil achieving their full potential.
​
We have both teachers and classroom Assistants who work with pupils, other teachers in the school and parents / guardians to support Learning. We have a department with three teaching areas and a quiet space. We also support pupils through Interval and Lunch time activities. We will offer support throughout your school year and during exams.
