The New Community School project is about a new way of delivering services in a co-ordinated way involving partnerships with:
Education
Social Work
Health
Community and Voluntary Groups
Careers Service
Business
Psychological Services
The Social Inclusion Partnership
Local Police
This comprehensive approach to supporting all the pupils, their families and the community is an important part of the government's strategy for tackling social exclusion and raising standards.

Irvine Royal Academy will be involved in:

Improving attendance
Reducing exclusions
Increasing the number of pupils moving on to higher and further education
Increasing community involvement in lifelong learning
Promoting health and fitness
Improving health education
Who else will benefit from the New Community School?
The partnership approach means that benefits will spread beyond Irvine Royal Academy, Primary and Special school pupils will receive support from the project and will be closely involved in all developments.
The local community will also benefit, for example, more integrated use of school facilities.

The project has four aims:
Raising achievements
Support for families
Health promotion
Lifelong learning
Consultation groups will be set up to plan developments in these areas, for example: support for families--this group will support families and provide advice which will enable children to do well at school; health promotion--this group will try to think of ways of promoting a healthier lifestyle for young people.
