Welcome from Head Teacher

Welcome to the Drummond School, Inverness website; I hope you find the information helpful and inspiring. Please do not hesitate to contact the school for more information.

As you can see from our banner photograph above this is a very new school. We moved into the school in August 2008. The facilities and resources are truly exceptional, the staff and pupils have been given the opportunity to work in a school very much fit for purpose and therefore it is our aim to

work towards offering genuinely high quality experiences for all of our learners.

We are a school for pupils with additional support needs (ASN). All of our pupils have severe learning difficulties and many have severe and complex needs. The school has a capacity for 80 pupils in 16 classes. We have provision for Nursery, Primary and Secondary education. We continue to work within the 3-18 educational framework.

Drummond School is situated in the Drummond/Lochardil area of Inverness but our pupils come from

all areas of Inverness. All pupils are transported to and from the school. This transport always has an escort included in the service. Parents also transport their children to and from the school where appropriate.

Please note that there are two other special schools in Highland Education Authority and many of the local primary and secondary schools have ASN provision. Not all pupils who have

ASN would automatically attend Drummond School.

The school is committed to working in partnership with parents as well as with all of the other significant partner agencies. We operate a Home/School diary communication system.

The school is managed by the Senior Management Team of the Head Teacher and two Depute Head Teachers. There are also three Principal Teachers. The school currently has a teaching staff of 23 Teachers (including those in the four specialist areas of Art, Music, Home Economics and Physical Education) and we have forty Additional Support Needs Assistants who are central to the support and education within the school.

We have our own large swimming pool and hydrotherapy pool run by the Pool Manager and two

Additional Leisure Assistants. The pool is also used by groups of children and young people with ASN in the Inverness area. Please click on Classes in our site menu to see our full range of facilities.

At Drummond School we respect ourselves and each other. Everyone is valued equally for who they are, what they do and what they achieve. We work as a team both within the school

and in the wider community. We engage in open and honest communication that allows us to take time to listen to one another and keep informed.

We are always very pleased when our website is visited and we are happy to receive your comments on how to improve this service for you. Please contact me on 01463 701051 (my direct dial number) or the School number of 01463 701050. My e-mail address is Linda.Schubert@highland.gov.uk or drummond.school@highland.gov.uk.
