ADVICE TO PUPILS

During your time in hospital, we'll help you to continue developing the four capacities of Curriculum for Excellence - to become a Successful Learner, a Confident Individual, a Responsible Citizen and an Effective Contributor.

 

We ask that you abide by 5 simple ground rules:    

  1. Follow timetable - Remain in class. If you need time out, tell your teacher and inform school nurse.
  2. Engage in class - Engage with your work to the best of your ability to meet targets agreed with your teachers.
  3. Show consideration - Try to participate in group activities. Be open to receiving and giving constructive feedback.
  4. Follow directions - Be co-operative with staff, whether they're teachers or part of the wider medical team.
  5. Wait to be dismissed - It's good manners but it's also for safety reasons.

 

Your number 1 priority while you're in hospital is your recovery.

However, try to remain ambitious in terms of your academic progress too. 

  • Strive to complete any work set out by HES and base school teachers. 
  • If you encounter difficulties, please talk to us and we'll help you prioritise and negotiate more appropriate targets.
