Fallside Secondary School

Fallside secondary is a non-denominational, co-educational establishment catering for approximately 25 to 30 secondary pupils, aged 12 to 16 years, with emotional and behavioural difficulties.

The school is located in a free-standing building, built in 1911 and situated in Viewpark, Uddingston.  Our aim is to bring a consistency into lives often fraught with inconsistency, thus providing a more rounded, confident individual with the focus on attitudinal change, social reintegration and in some instances mainstream school reintegration.

School roll for session 2005/2006 is 45.

The school is staffed by nine teaching and four non-teaching staff.

Pupils in S1 and S2 follow a curriculum based on 5-14 guidelines.  Emphasis is placed on a core curriculum of English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Physical Education, Personal and Social Education and Religious and Moral Education.

Pupils in S3 and S4 follow Standard Grade courses in English and History.  Maths courses are available at access three and intermediate one.  Pupils are encouraged to take national certificate examinations in these courses.  Pupils also attend college and follow courses in woodwork, painting and decorating, catering and bricklaying.  S4 and S5 pupils are given the opportunity to participate in a work experience placement.

Arts and crafts, modern languages and domestic science are taught through school based projects.  Classes have a maximum of six pupils which are organised according to pupil age.  Recognition is taken of social difficulties.
