Pupil Support – The Guidance Team

All pupils are put into one of six ‘Houses’ when they arrive at Culloden Academy. The most important part of this is that it identifies who your child’s Guidance teacher is. As a parent if you have a concern or some good news that you wish to share with the school, your first point of contact will be the Guidance teacher. Even if the concern relates to a specific subject please contact the Guidance teacher in the first instance by ringing the main school number.

The Houses and Guidance teachers are as follows:

  • Brodie – Mr MacLeod
  • Cawdor – Mrs Watt
  • Dalcross – Mr Skinner
  • Kilravock – Mr McKnight
  • Rait – Mr MacDonald
  • Strathnairn – Ms Keir

Pupil Support – Additional Support for Learning

Ms Lisa Purdie is Principal Teacher of Support for Learning and should be the main point of contact for any issues relating to Additional Support Needs.
