Falkland House School

Welcome to Falkland House School

Falkland House School is an all through residential school (i.e. we provide a seamless education through primary and secondary school) for boys from early primary to aged 18. We have been in existence for over 25 years and have a well established reputation for excellent quality of service provision and for achieving positive educational and socially inclusive outcomes.

Pupils can be referred from all regions in Scotland and the North of England.

Placements can be residential or day provision. Pupils may have additional support needs including those on the Autistic Spectrum (particularly Asperger's Syndrome), Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties, ADHD and Tourette’s Syndrome. They may also find it difficult to cope in a mainstream educational environment. Their difficulties might also impact on their inter-personal relationships in other aspects of their life, particularly with their peer group and at home.

The school offers both 39 and 52 week placements. Pupils on 39 week placements are resident from Monday to Friday, returning home for weekends and holidays. Planned interaction between home and school is vital and the Outreach Programme operating at weekends and holidays augments this. The 52 week provision enables pupils whose circumstances mean they are unable to return home at weekends and holidays to experience a safe and caring environment throughout the year.

The school intends that its pupils should be happy and fulfilled by involvement in rewarding learning experiences within an atmosphere of mutual respect, tolerance and goodwill. Falkland House School believes that children should be treated with respect and consideration and that they should be actively involved and encouraged to participate in decision making. They should be valued and supported to become Successful Learners, Effective Contributors, Confident Individuals and Responsible Citizens.
