Key facts for Local Authorities

Capability Scotland Schools are a proven alternative to mainstream placements for children with additional support needs.   

Our Schools have an unrivalled depth of expertise in education, care, therapy and technology. See Ryan's Story
 
Placements at our schools offer excellent value for money in relation to other grant maintained schools

Inclusion is a key part of the school routine, and our students play an active role in the wider community. See Sarah's Story

We offer a range of flexible options for students for attendance, residency and respite. Part day, part week and part term places are available.

Respite facilities are available at any time to pupils and non pupils of the school.

Students at the schools follow an Individualised Educational Plan developed in line with A Curriculum for Excellence and National Qualifications. Some fantastic results have been achieved.  Read more information on these results.

We also offer outreach training and research services to professionals, both specialist and mainstream, who support children with special or complex needs and have recently completed a pilot of an Inclusion Support Service for a child with cerebral palsy at St James’s School.

We teach children from all over Scotland.
