PRINCIPAL TEACHER ADDITIONAL SUPPORT NEEDS
	The Principal Teacher for Additional Support Needs (ASN) is Ms. Fiona Kerr.

Teachers of Additional Support Needs aim to support all pupils with any additional difficulties. Problems can arise for a number of reasons and may only be short lived, or may require support throughout the pupil's school career. The support provided can include advice to other staff and parents, working with pupils in their timetabled classes, linking with experts from outside the school, and in some cases, working with individuals or small groups in the base, once or twice a week. Pupils may be given individual homework programmes to follow to tackle specific difficulties such as spelling. A variety of approaches are used when dealing with social, emotional or behavioural difficulties.
