The Centre
Dysart PSS is based within Dysart Primary School. Pupils come here who are having some tricky times in their school so that we can help them with strategies and other ways to cope with these. There are 3 rooms that pupils work in with a Teacher and PSA staff.
Quiet Room: This is where we have breakfast/lunch and any cooking activities. We meet here to have daily chats when pupils arrive. There is a large tent in here too for anyone who needs a quiet space at anytime.
Playroom: This is a new room for this session. Children develop various metaskills whilst here through things such as role play, experimenting and free play.
Learning Room: Where classroom based Teaching and learning happens.
The School Day
Our morning sessions run from 9.15-12.30. Pupils will have lunch here before they leave.
The afternoon sessions are 1.15-2.45pm.
These sessions can include Outdoor learning, Swimming, Cooking skills, Science, Technology, Art and other core subjects. The staff will let Parents and Carers know what days these things happen so that pupils can be prepared. We have lots of waterproofs and wellies but pupils are welcome to bring their own if preferred.
Our morning sessions focus on Numeracy and Literacy and for the afternoons it is Health & Wellbeing as the main focus.
