Hopefield / St Andrew's Support Service

All Midlothian schools have services that support children and young people with additional support needs.  

Hopefield and St Andrew's Primary schools provide additional support for Primary-aged children from across Midlothian who have autistic spectrum disorder and who will benefit from access to mainstream curriculum.

• Hopefield Primary School
• St Andrew's Primary School
  

The children using the service attend support classes which are an integral part of each school. 

The support team, led by a Principal teacher, is made up of teachers, Childcare Development Workers and Learning Assistants.  There is regular support from a Speech and Language Therapist. 

• NHS Lothian Speech and Language Therapist
  

The Head Teacher of each school manages the support service on a day-to-day basis.
