Established for over 30 years, we provide a mainstream curriculum and attainment for boys who can’t access a mainstream environment.

Welcome to Falkland House School

We are one of Scotland’s top providers of education for boys with additional support needs such as Autistic Spectrum Condition, Social, Emotional and Mental Health diagnosis, ADHD and Tourette’s Syndrome, as well as several other conditions. Our stunning buildings set in calming surroundings in Fife offer care and education from early primary age to 18.

The school was the first educational establishment of its type in Scotland to be awarded ‘Excellent’ grades by the Care Inspectorate in every statement we were inspected on, and we have held accreditation with the National Autistic Society since 2012, being the first Scottish school to do so.

Take a look at our video from Head of Service, Patrick Gannon, below for more details about the school and our provision.

“

The compassion and affection with which staff cared for young people was apparent in their practice…with relationships between staff and young people warm and good humoured

“

I really feel part of things with my son’s care and that gives me confidence in the school

“

I cannot speak highly enough about the school. It has been a lifeline for us.

”

“

There is a highly inclusive and child-centred ethos and culture embedded in the shcools practice…with the school supporting learners very well to eradicate their anxieties and re-engage successfully with education

”

Education Scotland, HMIe, 2019

“

Meetings with the school are so different from other schools. They take time to get to know each and every child and it is the pupil’s own personal goals and aspirations that they support along the way. We just need more Falkland House Schools!

Hear from our parents in their own words…

“

Kieran spent the majority of his early school years at home with me due to his behaviour. It wasn’t until the age of 7 that we were finally able to secure a diagnosis of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). Despite being prescribed medication, his behavioural problems continued. He invariably spent his days in the headmistress’ office or home with me. During this time he was turned down by two other schools, but we finally got him accepted into Falkland House at the age of 10.

Within weeks we could see a marked improvement. He could barely write his name or read, but with the support of the school he flourished in the small and calming classroom setting. Kieran now has just done his prelims; achieving straight B’s and he is performing above average for his year group. This is a testament to the school and the staff who have worked with him. Previously, Kieran was unable to interact with other children but he now takes part in activities after school. He was also a fussy eater, but has now been encouraged to try new things and enjoys cooking.

When I look at him now, I can’t believe he is the same boy as a few years ago. I cannot recommend Falkland House highly enough. The school can really help to bring out the potential you’ve always known has been there.

“

I knew very early on that Josh was different from his peers, and he was initially diagnosed with separation anxiety. I did not agree, and he was finally diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome and an Autistic Spectrum Disorder at the age of five.

Josh had five primary school placements in seven years and his last three years of primary schooling were on a part time basis. His first high school placement broke down on day one as he was deemed too aggressive. He had a break down when he was 13 and was detained under the mental health act for six months in Gartnaval Psychiatric unit.

Josh is a bright, articulate boy who is of mainstream ability academically. He does not have learning difficulties, but he does have barriers to learning. Falkland House School was my first experience of a facility that recognised that even when a child is extremely bright, they still need an opportunity to learn in an environment where staff ratios are high, class sizes are always small and due consideration is given to every aspect of the child’s condition. It was also the first experience I had of a service that supported me as a parent as well as addressing the needs of my child.

Prior to attending Falkland House School, Josh had very little formal education. He left Falkland house with a variety of qualifications and has gone on to complete an NQ and an HNC in Digital media. He started a degree course in Computer Games Design in September. He has also been nominated by South Lanarkshire College for an SQA Star award.
