1. Head Teacher’s Welcome

On behalf of all of my dedicated colleagues, I wish you a warm welcome to Ladywell School, whether you be a learner, parent/carer or fellow professional.

Ladywell is a partnership working school which supports children and young people (of secondary/secondary-transition age and from all over Glasgow) with additional support for learning needs which arise from social, emotional and behavioural factors.

The purpose of this Handbook is to give you a flavour of the school day and the learning and growing experiences of our children and young people.

Every interaction in/by Ladywell is based on positive, nurturing and trusting relationships. Emotional literacy is at the core of our work and we are building an ethos whereby every member of our school community can be an empathic, resilient, successful and thriving self-leader who is wise and compassionate, interacts with integrity and believes in justice for all.

All members of staff and partners are committed to ensuring that every child and young person achieves and attains to the very best of their ability and builds a positive and coherent sense of themselves and their place in our world. Excellence is at the heart of all of our work – our learners, staff and partners deserve nothing less for their health, wellbeing, learning and growth.

We cherish partnership working with parents/carers and would urge that you do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions, suggestions or concerns about your child/young person’s placement/interaction with Ladywell School. Together, we can ensure that our learners are happy, safe and achieving their potential.

Kind regards and take care, Karen Muir

Inter-denominational. Ladywell is an inter-denominational school which celebrates all religions and cultures. Parents and carers from religions other than Christianity may request that their children/young people be permitted to be absent from school in order to celebrate religious events. Referring schools will inform Ladywell of this but it would also be very helpful if parents/carers could let us know directly.

Co-educational

Secondary S1-S4, with some learners receiving primary/secondary transition support.

Ladywell does not have a community of full-time learners. Learners come to Ladywell on a Shared Placement basis and we also support learners in their own schools through Outreach.

Accommodation: Ladywell is a 2 storey building consisting of 6 classrooms set around a central hall and leisure area. There is a small playground area. Nearby Victoria Park supports outdoor Health and Wellbeing activities. The front and back doors are accessible by ramp. Our colleagues from the Interrupted Learners’ Service share our building.

3

Learning Community: Knightswood – partnership working takes place with all Learning Communities

Accessibility: The school has a duty to ensure that all our young people have equal access to the curriculum, supported as appropriate to their individual needs. This covers not only the content of lessons and teaching strategies but also minor adaptations to the physical environment of our buildings to address the needs of young people with physical or sensory impairments, including the relocation of classes to the ground floor where feasible. We also need to ensure that parents and carers who have a disability have equal access to information about their child. This will involve, for example, relocating the venue of parents/carers meetings to facilitate physical access; provision of an interpreter for people who have a hearing impairment; agreeing a phone system to provide direct feedback to parents and carers.

Physical Access:

Ramps at front and rear of school

No lift to first floor

Meetings can be located on ground floor

Toilets available on ground floor

No disabled toilet

Communication:

We do everything in our power to ensure regular communication with parents/carers and their access to our school building/other events associated with school.

Curriculum:

All activities are designed to engage, motivate and empower children and young people with social, emotional and behavioural needs.

Support is given by teachers and pupil support assistants to all learners and support tools such as dyslexia rulers and pens, left handed scissors, software programmes are freely available.

4

Staff Development:

Professional development opportunities are given to all staff re the latest developments in supporting children and young people with social, emotional and behavioural needs. We keep abreast of the latest research re ADHD, ASD, Attachment and Conduct additional support needs. Staff and partners take their responsibilities under Additional Support for Learning Legislation extremely seriously. We are also committed to proactively developing our skills in Teaching for Effective Learning and Assessment and being lead learners in local and national priorities.

If this is not a place where tears are understood, where do I go to cry?

If this is not a place where my spirits can take wing, where do I go to fly?

If this is not a place where my questions can be asked, where do I go to seek?

If this is not a place where my feelings can be heard, where do I go to speak?

If this is not a place where you’ll accept me as I am, where do I go to be?

If this is not a place where I can try to learn and grow, where can I just be me?

William J Crocker

Our vision, values and aims are designed to nurture and empower our learners, affording them their rights within a framework of mutual respect and responsibility.

Our emotionally-literate based curriculum nurtures the development of our learners’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural values.

Learners reflect on their learning and growth throughout their time in Ladywell. They reflect on their emotions and character and the impact of their words and actions on others.

Learners also try out various ways of achieving calm and centring themselves and have various opportunities to be at one with nature.

Through brain-friendly learning, learners are taught to use their senses to enhance and deepen their learning and growth.

Our nurturing, empowering framework articulates with our Education Service’s protocols on Children’s Rights

Ladywell works closely with school, social work, health and other partners involved with learners to ensure that learners receive the best possible support. Every interaction and learning activity is designed to enhance and develop emotional literacy.

Our new Promoting Positive Behaviour Policy (available on our website and from school in hard copy) scaffolds the safe and empowering learning and growth of our learners. It is based on emotionally literate, therapeutic crisis intervention principles and embraces best practice in nurturing, solution focused, motivational and restorative approaches, thus providing a familiar and empowering framework for learners from all learning communities. This policy, like every other policy and protocol, is designed to nurture the health and wellbeing, learning and growth of our youngsters. It aims to build capacity through the key wellbeing indicators of Getting It Right For Every Child and Young Person.

Learners are encouraged to bring questions and concerns directly to Ladywell staff or through our Head Teacher postbox. They can also choose to bring them to their learning mentor in their key school.

10

4. Our Curriculum

Every learning activity and interaction has emotional literacy at its core. We are here to build positive trusting relationships with learners whilst helping them to learn positive ways of listening to and expressing their feelings in ways which allow them to have their needs met without harming themselves or others. They are learning to be respectfully assertive self leaders.

Learners engage in specialised Social and Emotional Wellbeing courses which enable them to make more positive choices in their key schools – and in life - building the 4 Capacities of Curriculum for Excellence - Successful Learners, Responsible Citizens, Confident Individuals, and Effective Contributors.

Learners also carry out a Motivated School Energy for Learning Inventory which enables them to identify key Health and Wellbeing Experience and Outcome targets to focus on and track, both here and in their key schools.

All members of staff are committed to making every moment of a learner’s membership of the Ladywell community as happy, friendly and personally meaningful as possible. Every learning experience is designed to capture the attention, enjoyment and engagement of pupils with additional support needs. Every activity is designed to build self-esteem, confidence and self-knowledge. Learners are asked to really think about themselves and their choices and the journey to positive change.

Ladywell School is a professional learning organisation. Teachers are well aware that our own learning preferences and interests can influence our teaching approaches. Whilst we believe that it is vital to be genuine and share parts of ourselves with our learners, we also know that we cannot be complacent in terms of our teaching. We constantly take a learner’s perspective to our work. We know that every learner has a personal and unique combination of learning styles, thinking styles and intelligences development. We know that every learner in Ladywell has social/emotional/behavioural support needs and that some have diagnosed needs such as attention deficit (and hyperactivity) disorder, autistic spectrum disorder or oppositional defiant disorder.

Therefore, every learning experience is designed to reach out to all learners as comprehensively as possible. Learners must be able to listen and work in their preferred learning style but it is so vital that they develop a multi-sensory approach to learning. Similarly, learners must have learning opportunities which enable them to build on existing intelligence strengths, whilst being supportively challenged to develop new intelligences. Learners also need to learn to think and problem-solve in various and

11

innovative ways and are encouraged to be practise mindfulness in their thoughts, emotions and actions.

Ladywell staff values laughter in learning. Laughter produces positive, happy feelings which are conducive to effective learning. Laughter also helps to build trusting, positive relationships. Learners know that we can laugh with each other but never at each other. Interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences are at the centre of every interaction with people and stimuli. Background music plays an important role in learning and learners are encouraged to reflect on the effects of different kinds of music on their mood, attention and motivation (musical-rhythmic intelligence). Verbal-linguistic intelligence is developed through person-to-person interactions and written reflection. Visual-spatial and bodily-kinaesthetic intelligences are developed through our dedicated Health and Wellbeing through Art activities and in many wider activities. Learners learn how to look after their emotional, mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing and gain more from life by appreciating nature and engaging with their environment (naturalist intelligence). Some of our thinking and problem-solving activities also enhance logical-mathematical intelligence. As well as many of our core learning activities taking an innovative problem-solving and solution focused approach, every classroom has a variety of complementary activities which encourage lateral thinking and curiosity. Learning takes place collaboratively within the learning group and also on an individual, reflective basis. Teachers use a variety of non-threatening questioning and other assessment approaches. Learners are given plenty of time to reflect on and formulate their answers/opinions/feelings. Curriculum for Excellence is at the core of learning. Our main focus is the experiences and Outcomes in Mental, Emotional and Social Wellbeing. We also embrace the wider Health and Wellbeing and Literacy and Numeracy across Experiences and Outcomes. Further information on Curriculum for Excellence can be found in http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/parentzone/index.asp.

5. Assessment and Reporting

Learners referred to Ladywell have been assessed as requiring Stage 3 Intervention – support outwith the learner’s own schools. Learners will come with an Additional Support Plan (ASP) and the key Health and Wellbeing Experience and Outcome target(s) chosen by the learner for their joint working with Ladywell will also be incorporated into the ASP.

Learners are assessed on a daily basis re their progress in Social and Emotional Wellbeing Experiences and Outcomes. Tools used include Assessment Is For Learning, Solution Focused Targets, Energy For Learning Indicator, Therapeutic Conversations, Learning Conversations and Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Centralised electronic records are kept re learning and whole person development, motivation and engagement. A formal exchange of learning and growth information takes place between Ladywell and key schools every fortnight for shared placement learners and every month for outreach learners. Key Team Meetings are held once a fortnight to track the overall progress of learners and plan next steps for support actions.

Reviews with Learning and Growth Reporting take place half way through and at the end of shared placement. Formal reports are produced at this time. In outreach, a formal review of progress comes at the end of input.

All shared placement learners work in partnership with us and their key schools to develop a detailed Personal Resource Plan and Risk Assessment to support their learning and growth and understanding of their social/emotional and behavioural additional support needs.

Arrangements for transition from Ladywell support are personalised to each learner.

Our Head Teacher, Karen Muir, is the key link re learner progress and should be contacted in the first instance.

Ensuring the Health and Wellbeing, learning and growth of our learners is the responsibility and privilege of every member of our school community.

Personal support is given every moment of every day. Learners are supported in class by teachers and pupil support assistants. Every learner has his/her own key teacher.

Our Leadership Team members are available within minutes and are regularly in classes.

Learning and growth of all learners is tracked on an ongoing basis through our quality assurance procedures.

13

Learners receive joint support from their key school’s learning mentor and Ladywell staff.

We work in partnership with stakeholders such as Educational Psychology, Social Work, and NHS to ensure the highest levels of joint support.

Support for our learners is scaffolded by national and local legislation and policy. Glasgow City Council has a duty, as outlined in the Standards in Scotland’s Schools 2000 Act, to ensure that learners achieve their potential. Glasgow’s Education Services is committed to the inclusion of all children and young people with additional support needs, where possible, within mainstream schools. This is in accordance with the statutory requirement in the 2000 Act. It is also part of Glasgow’s policy to maintain a range of special educational establishments. This recognises the key role to be played by specialist provisions in addressing severe low incidence disabilities. The authority recognises that there are a wide range of factors, which may act as a barrier to your child’s learning. Additional support needs may be linked to a learning difficulty or disability but could also apply to a child or young person suffering from bereavement who requires pastoral support, a more able child/young person or those with a particular talent which needs to be fully developed. The policy requires all establishments to provide an environment where children and young people are actively encouraged to be effective learners and benefit from their school education.

Any parent/carer seeking further advice regarding this policy should contact Karen Muir, Headteacher, in the first instance. If you are unhappy with the support your child is getting you should first discuss this with school in order to seek a resolution at that very local level.

Further information relating to Additional Support Needs is also available on the Glasgow City Council website – Additional Support Needs

as well as from organisations identified under the Additional Support for Learning (Sources of Information) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2011 –

Children in Scotland: Working for Children and Their Families, trading as “Enquire – the Scottish advice and information service for additional support for learning”, a charitable body fully registered in Scotland under registration number SC003527

Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance: A charitable body registered in Scotland under registration number SC033576

Scottish Child Law Centre: a charitable body registered in Scotland under registration number SCO12741.

6. Parental Involvement

Ladywell operates an open door policy whereby parents/carers are welcome to telephone/pop in at any time.

Parents/carers share the journey from the very beginning as they are involved in the decision for their child/young person to be referred to Ladywell.

Parents/carers of outreach learners are kept informed by written communications and liaise with their youngster’s own school.

Parents/carers of shared placement learners are invited to an open morning before placement begins. Here, they are given the opportunity to outline the additional support needs they wish to be addressed. Parents/carers then have the opportunity to come to a further opening morning which focuses on how their learner is settling and their key learning experiences.

Formal reviews involving parents/carers and all other partners take place at middle and end of shared placement. Full written reports of progress and development needs are produced.

Please note that parents/carers and schools will be given an up-to-date information booklet at the time of Ladywell input beginning.

12. Transfer/Enrolment

Children and young people are referred to Ladywell directly by their schools after discussion at a Joint Support Team in their learning community. Referrals do not take place without parent/carer consent and consultation with the learner. A parent/carer who is interested in their child/young person receiving support from Ladywell should in the first instance discuss this with their child/young person’s school, in conjunction with Educational Psychology/Social Work, where appropriate.

For shared placements, children and young people who are referred to Ladywell will visit with their parent/carer to set the scene for placement.

For outreach support, children and young people will meet with their Ladywell teacher in their own schools to agree aims of involvement.

Children who are being supported from primary 7 to secondary transition will do a combination of work in their own primaries and future secondaries.

23

13. Equal Opportunities and Social Inclusion

Ladywell staff members and partners are committed to providing equality of opportunity for all. Our whole reason for being is to promote and ensure inclusion.

Ladywell colleagues work in partnership with other schools to ensure that referral to/involvement with Ladywell enhances children and young people’s learning and growth and does not jeopardise their school progress.

Building empathy is at the core of our work and diversity is celebrated.

Disrespect and inequality of treatment will never be permitted.

Everyone in our Ladywell community is regarded and treated as unique and a gift to our world.

Our nurturing approach ensures the best possible proactive action to address issues of concern. We follow the Getting It Right For Every Child And Young Person Model to ensure that every learner is nurtured, active, respected, responsible, included, safe, healthy and achieving.

The Equality Act 2010 protects certain characteristics. In the delivery of education the characteristics that are protected are disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity. When making decisions in relation to admissions, exclusions, the provision of education, benefits, facilities and services and any other relevant decisions the school has a duty to have due regard to the need to –

a) Eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited under the Equality Act 2010;

b) Advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it;

c) Foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it.
