Learning Support

At Glenalmond College, we recognise the individual strengths and challenges of every pupil, and we are committed to helping each one achieve their full potential.

We welcome pupils who are comfortable with the level of academic attainment expected within our curriculum. We also support pupils with specific educational needs who, with appropriate assistance, are able to engage successfully in classroom learning.

The Support for Learning Department is led by Mrs Nicola Henderson and includes Mrs Emma Morren, a dedicated Support for Learning teacher, and Mrs Sara Speirs, our in-house specialist assessor for examination access arrangements.

The department works closely with teachers, pupils, parents, and House staff to identify and implement effective classroom strategies. Support may include one-to-one sessions, small group work, and the coordination of additional examination arrangements where appropriate.
