Son Harassed
My son was harassed by the brown man teacher outside on the playground and and his class room
Great When I was there - gone massively downhill since then
Overall I had a great time when I was there (class of 2016). Great teachers and year group. Sad to see how massively downhill it appears to have gone since. Even the building looks like it is falling to bits.
My Son Hated It There Horrible.
If you are looking for an inclusive experience at a Scottish high school I would highly recommend not to go to this school. The staff are not only terrible at teaching but rude to both students and parents. The school do nothing about bullying and daily violence children are not safe there. My child has been fought by multiple people to the point he got suspended for defending himself the support system is broken. There has been occasions my son has been brought home with bruises and cuts on his body from the harm off other children. He has moved high schools and is much happier.

Resource
About the resource.I went to this school for years they allowed bullying and did some picking on themselves. They were unsupportive and truly did what they wished to do. Only recently in the last 2 years did they decide to properly make children do work. They let them run around and continued to pick favourites. I do Not recommend this unit especially to children with higher support needs. some parts may be better than they were before but If your child is in need of help and genuine support I do not recommend one bit unless you are in desperate need. Not just on the staff that work there but the school is bad at providing actual support and the resource always came last on the list. The staff were uneducated on ASD.
This resource has caused a lot of issues psychologically with the crap that has been allowed.

ASD resource.
The ASD resource unit. Teachers are undereducated in autism/mental health and favourite students. Although some of the small resource is good such as not having my daughter forced to go to mainstream especially if you are a favourite.
Horrid place
I hated this school so much. Some teachers were alright but most of them treated everyone horrible, all the students aswell are so mean and horrible. They do nothing about bullying or anything.
Inclusive!
This school is extremely accepting, and I love that for it!
If you're a fan of inclusivity and equal rights, come to this school if you can, it's also great at teaching it's regular subjects.

Threats
Most of the teachers threaten your marks if you don't comply with what they want.
