Welcome to Falkland House School
Falkland House School is one of Scotland's top providers of education and care to boys with Additional Support Needs. We were in fact one of the first independent schools in Scotland to be awarded Autism Accreditation by the National Autistic Society. We offer day and residential (39- and 52-week) placements. Fees are paid by local authorities.
What we are all about
They may find it difficult to cope in a mainstream educational environment and their difficulties might also impact on interpersonal relationships in other aspects of their lives, particularly with their peer group and at home.
We provide residential and day places to boys from early primary to aged 18, with residential placements of both 39 weeks and 52 weeks offered.
The school has a well-established reputation for excellence in the quality of its service provision and for achieving positive educational and socially inclusive outcomes. We intend that our pupils should be happy and fulfilled through involvement in rewarding learning experiences, within an atmosphere of mutual respect, tolerance and goodwill.
We cater for as many circumstances as possible and take boys from all regions in Scotland and the rest of the UK. They are accepted through referral by a local authority or from parents finding out about the school and contacting us directly.
The school was the first - and is still the highest rated - educational establishment of its type in Scotland to be awarded ‘Excellent’ grades by the Care Inspectorate in every statement we were inspected in.
We also hold the UNICEF Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA), which recognises achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) at the heart of a school’s planning, policies, practice and ethos.

Education
All pupils at Falkland House School follow the Curriculum for Excellence which enables each young person to be a successful learner, confident individual and effective contributor. All pupils have a Key Teacher who is responsible for monitoring and guiding their progress.
Beyond the Classroom
Falkland House offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities as part of the school day. Whilst the pupils enjoy the wide range of activities, they are underpinned by the knowledge that they enhance the opportunity for social interaction, achievement and mental wellbeing.
Care & Support
When a pupil enrols at the school he has a dedicated Keyworker allocated to him. The primary role of the Keyworker is to ensure that pupils are fully supported in all aspects of their lives. Keyworkers are fully involved in the Care Planning process for individual pupils.
