Student Support

In Armadale Academy, all staff work with our students to ensure high levels of support and pastoral care.

Our aim is that every student is safe, happy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included. Throughout their learning journey, every student will remain at the centre, actively planning and reflecting on their next steps at every stage in order to reach their learning targets and make progress. We work to enable all of our students to develop and learn the appropriate skills for life, learning and work for their move into a positive and sustained destination.

There are three Houses:

Cochran
Honeyman
Wood

Each House comprises of S1-3 Mentors, Senior Phase Registration Teachers, Development Post Holders and a Head of House.

If you have any concerns, the first point of contact with the school would be with the relevant member of the Student Support team.
