This is a mainstream primary school with two enhanced provision classes offering support for children aged 5 to 11 years who have a diagnosis of autism, or have a range of more complex additional needs. The school offers support to children mostly from the Coupar Angus area although pupils from other parts of Perth and Kinross may be placed by the Authority according to individual circumstances. Children in the Enhanced Provision Classes have the support of an Additional Support Needs (ASN) Teacher and two Pupil Support Assistants. A sensory room is also available and there is easy access to a general purpose room, resource room, toilets and a shower room. We support the development of social communication skills, and use the Northern Ireland Programme and Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network (ASDAN). We ensure that children also achieve the best they can academically. Children access their mainstream class, with support where needed. We have a Parent/Carer Support Group to offer support to the whole family.
