Ladywell School - Excellence At The Heart
SEBN Staged Intervention Joint Working
Background And Referral Information
Ladywell School exists to support children with
additional support for learning needs which arise
from social, emotional and behavioural factors.
The Ladywell cohort is all children and young
people in Glasgow Mainstream Secondary
Schools. We also offer support to children of
primary/secondary transition age and some
youngsters in ASN Secondary. Ladywell works
in partnership with schools and other agencies
to try to ensure that every child and young
person with whom we jointly work achieves and
attains to the very best of their ability and
builds a positive and coherent sense of
themselves and their place in our world.
Every interaction in/by Ladywell is based on
positive, nurturing and trusting relationships.
Emotional literacy is at the core of our work
and we are building an ethos whereby every
member of our school community can be an
empathic, resilient, successful and thriving self-
leader who is wise and compassionate, interacts
with integrity and believes in justice for all.
OUR VISION
Embedding Curriculum for Excellence and inclusion
through an emotionally literate curriculum and
culture, thus ensuring that everyone has the
opportunity to be a successful learner, confident
individual, effective contributor and responsible
citizen.
Working in partnership with Glasgow schools,
families, our community and external agencies in
order to promote equally high expectations and
aspirations for all.
Being inclusive – helping young people and families
to recognise and celebrate their unique strengths
and talents and realise their own personal vision.
OUR VALUES
In Ladywell, we deeply believe in:
Putting young people and families first through the
promotion of rights and responsibilities and the
building of a nurturing culture of self-awareness
and self-leadership for the wellbeing of all.
Embedding inclusion, trust, wisdom, justice,
integrity, mutual respect and emotional literacy in
all that we do.
Keeping collaboration and co-operation at the
heart of everything we do as a professional
learning organisation.
OUR AIMS
Self-Leadership and Self-Motivation
Providing our learners with the opportunities and
support to develop skills and qualities for success
and happiness today and in a changing future.
Nurturing Climate
Developing positive relationships and a love of
learning through our empowering, nurturing and
emotionally literate culture.
Structure
Within a proactive, individualised and innovative
framework, assessing and ensuring progress for
our learners in partnership with families and
external agencies.
REFERRAL CRITERIA
Ladywell School is a Stage 3 Intervention on
Glasgow’s Staged Intervention Model.
Therefore, a referral should be made when a
school is looking for enhanced support outwith
that which can - and has - been offered
within class and wider school for children with
additional support needs arising from social,
emotional and behavioural factors. Referrals
should be made as a result of a decision made
by a multi-agency forum such as a
Joint Assessment Team/Joint Support Team.
Parent/carer permission must also be sought
before referring and partners involved with the
individual learner kept abreast.
The Referral Form should be accompanied by:
A PRF - detailing records of staged interven-
tion, additional support needs, support in place
and forward planning reflecting appropriate
differentiation
Outreach
Outreach is offered to children and young peo-
ple who need level 3 support because they are
continuing to be unable to cope with school life
due to anxieties, self esteem or behavioural is-
sues. These children and young people are not
in danger of requiring specialist placement -
and are unlikely to be subject to Management
Circular 8 - but are just not able to attain and
achieve to the best of their abilities/build the
relationships necessary to support them being
happy, safe and achieving their potential.
Outreach Teachers work with children and young
people in their own schools. This usually
involves spending one period per week with a
learner on an individual/group basis. Learners
are then able to be supported in practising new
strategies. Each learner should have a learning
mentor within their own school. This colleague
will track and share general and target progress
information as agreed at Case Conference.
Ladywell input will take place for around 20
weeks with a Review being held half way
through.
Our Outreach Team can also offer support in
the summer term to primary 7 learners for
whom schools have concerns re a successful
transition to secondary. This support continues
in secondary to around October.
Outreach Teachers use individualised
programmes for each learner which are
emotionally literate based.
The Outreach Referral Process is outlined
overleaf:
Email Application sent to Ladywell Head Teacher
Referral considered by Ladywell Joint
Assessment Forum
Case Conference held in Referring School

Support begins as soon as possible
Inreach/Shared Placements
Shared placement is offered to children and
young people who need level 3 support because
they are continuing to be unable to cope with
school life due to anxieties, self esteem or
behavioural issues. These children and young
people are not in danger of requiring specialist
placement but are becoming increasingly subject
to procedures in Management Circular 8.
Each shared placement learner should have a
learning mentor within their own school. This
colleague will track and share general progress
information. They will also track and share
progress on the joint Health and Wellbeing
Target(s) learners are working on as a result of
their ‘Motivated School Energy For Learning’
work in Ladywell. Information will flow
continuously but must do so on a formal basis
every 2 weeks.
Core Curriculum is delivered in the referring
school. It is therefore vital that timetables
are structured in such a way that learners
Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Wellbeing,
including PE, are not adversely affected.
Ladywell colleagues will be focusing on positive
behaviour choices and developing emotional
literacy and love of learning and engagement.
Curriculum for Excellence Emotional/Mental
Wellbeing Experiences and Outcomes will be the
core business. A close eye will also be kept on
Literacy and Numeracy across.
The shared placement will last for around 20
weeks with a Review half way through. Learn-
ers will normally attend Ladywell for 3 half
days per week. However, if a learner is being
offered one-to-one sessions rather than a
group placement, then attendance is normally
one half day per week. Most learners are able
to be placed in groups.
The Inreach/Shared Placement Referral Process
is outlined overleaf:
Email Application sent to Ladywell Head Teacher
Referral considered by Ladywell Joint
Assessment Forum
Case Conference held in Ladywell School
Learner visits Ladywell with parent/carer
Shared placement begins as soon as time
tabling allows
From time-to-time, Ladywell Referrals will also
be received through Integrated Support Groups
and the City SEBN Planning Group.
Contact Information
Emailable forms will be housed in every school
office and are available on our website. They
can also be emailed out to individual colleagues.
The same form is used for Outreach and
Inreach/Shared Placements.
