upport for Learning programmer

St. Augustine's has a Support for Learning programmer that is designed to assist students who have learning difficulties or special needs. The staff of the Support for Learning department have specialized training that allows them to determine the best methods of assisting students with learning needs, with both Learning Assistants and volunteer prefects providing additional support for the department. Both one-on-one tutoring and in-class assistance are provided depending on the needs of the student.

In such cases where the needs of a student are significant, they are given an official Record of Needs. [ [http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2005/02/19542/39300 SINGLE SHARED ASSESSMENT] ] These students are the first to be considered when the Support for Learning staff decide their priorities.
