Quarriers Opt-In Service

Quarriers Opt-In Service works in partnership with education services to provide support to vulnerable children in the six learning communities in the South West of Glasgow.

We work with pupils from Primary 6 to S1, helping them to deal with a range of issues including difficulties with behaviour, attendance, social skills, peer relationships, coping with loss and confidence issues.

The service is particularly focused on supporting pupils through the difficult transition from primary to secondary school. We deliver support in schools during term time and offer a series of transition support programmes during the summer holidays.

Referrals are normally made by pastoral care, teaching staff, school joint support teams and educational psychology staff.

Opt-In Early Years works in pre-school services and primary schools in south west Glasgow to promote positive transitions to primary school, and works within primary schools to help children settle in and become engaged and capable learners.
