Our school caters for pupils within South Lanarkshire who present with a broad range of complex additional support needs from Primary 1 – Primary 7. Pupils are allocated a placement through the ASN Primary Allocations process. Our pupils benefit from smaller class sizes and higher staff ratios to support their learning.
\\n\\nAll children attending Scotland’s local authority schools follow a Curriculum for Excellence. We use the Milestones to Support Learners with Complex Needs to inform our teaching, planning and assessment. At Victoria Park School we adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of all pupils and we use active learning, Play Based Learning, practical tasks and community links to make learning relevant and challenging. In our school pupils have access to soft play, a sensory room and hydrotherapy pool to support their wider learning and well-being. The pupils have access to an internal courtyard as well as a garden for breaks and play.
