Proposals to create a new additional support needs (ASN) school in West Dunbartonshire will “enhance” current educational provision according to a Scottish Government agency.
Education Scotland believes that the proposals to develop the ASN campus on the site of the former Riverside Early Learning and Childcare (ELCC) site at St Martin’s Primary in Alexandria will also have “educational benefits”.
Following a public consultation which took place last year a response from Education Scotland presented to councillors at their most recent meeting said: “HM Inspectors agree that the proposal has the potential to bring clear educational benefits for young people with additional support needs attending the new school. A shared campus will create joint learning opportunities for both the new school and the existing primary school.
