“Reducing the barriers to learning by providing the right support for the right learners at the right time”
The Integrated Support Team consists of a range of both in-house staff and external agency partners. Our aim is to provide advice and support to our learners, staff and parents/carers to ensure that any barrier to learning is reduced, enabling our young people to achieve the best attainment possible in their time in Irvine Royal Academy. The team will meet monthly to share information received about pupils and agree on the next steps for targeted support from the relevant area/service within the team.
