Ogilvie School Campus is a school for children with a range of additional support needs arising from complex difficulties, sensory impairments, physical disabilities, and Autism spectrum disorder. The school catchment area covers the whole of West Lothian Council.
The school is growing year on year as we continue to expand our Secondary offering. This year will see our first S5 Secondary pupils take forward their education at Ogilvie School Campus. The school will be undergoing significant change over the coming years, both structural and educational, to create a dynamic and forward-thinking establishment that will meet all pupils' needs in a nurturing environment. Effective learning and teaching are priorities, working alongside a nurturing ethos within the school. Staff are creative, barrier-removing, and caring in their approaches, allowing pupils to access the curriculum appropriately. We celebrate every child's individual success. All staff set high expectations to encourage young people to reach their full potential, enabling them to leave school as effective contributors, successful learners, confident individuals, and responsible citizens.
The school is currently staffed by a Head Teacher, approximately 20 teaching staff, 40 Advanced Pupil Support Workers, and 2 Office staff. The school roll is around 100 children.
We are supported by a team of health professionals who regularly meet with staff, children, and parents, including a school nurse, community pediatrician, speech and language therapists, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, and children and mental health team.
There is a very positive ethos across the school. Staff, parents, and partners work well together to create a community that provides the best possible care for our children.
West Lothian Council is committed to significant changes in how we deliver our Education Services. These include providing support and an environment conducive to your professional development. Our dedication is reflected in the council's achievement of the Investors in People Standard, with ongoing efforts to improve service delivery.
A relevant teaching qualification and registration with the General Teaching Council for Scotland are essential.
