Support for Learners
In Webster’s High School, children with additional support needs are catered for in accordance with current Angus Education Department’s policy. This endorses the principle that children with additional support needs should be educated as locally as is possible consistent with meeting their needs effectively. The central element of the process of admitting a child with additional support needs to the school is a review / transition meeting involving parents, child, school, Education department staff and other specialist agencies as appropriate.

Local, direct support is usually the best way to meet pupils’ needs, and all Angus schools support pupils who have additional support needs (ASN). If parents have any questions about their child’s progress or well-being at school, they should discuss these first with the appropriate PCS Teacher. 

Pupils who have more significant identified needs can be supported in the area ‘specifically resourced school’ a school which has additional staffing and resources and all Angus secondary schools are specifically resourced schools. There is no special school in Angus, and so some Angus specifically resourced schools also have additional levels of staffing, expertise or resources to allow them to meet very significant or profound needs.
