Provision for pupils with special needs is carried out throughout the school but a specially designed Support Unit has been set up providing all day access to teaching and learning support. This unit of Teachers and Classroom Assistants operates in close co-operation with all the major outside agencies including Outreach Support and pyschology services from the Education Board in our area.

On entry in Year 8 all pupils are assessed according to the code of practice on special educational needs using a range of source.
Pupils with special needs are allocated to smaller classes for all subjects to assist with differentiated work. All subject departments are informed of pupil needs and advised on how to develop action plans.

The support for pupils with needs is provided using up to date computer technology. Literacy numeracy and subject-based skills are taught through the use of multi-media technology.
