We have been working hard to ensure that every pupil is able to experience a varied and rich journey during their time at Earlston High School. We hope to remove all barriers that may stop pupils from participating fully. Through much discussion and consultation with pupils, parents and staff we are taking measures to allow our school to become more accessible for all. As a school we have made the following initial pledges:

• To raise staff awareness of the hardships some of our young people encounter.
• To offer subject specific materials in classrooms for pupils to access should they need them.
• To offer financial help for all curricular and extra-curricular experiences offered.
• To create a form option on the school website to make financial support easier to access.

In the links below you will find information on the financial advice and support that may be available to you.
