Angus Council

HM Condor and Service Family Accommodation fall within the jurisdiction of Angus Council.

Angus Council Education Service and schools work closely with the military at RM Condor. Members of the Service Family Liaison team attend the Condor Playgroup on a weekly basis. Schools also work with RM Condor on individual projects and activities.

Armed Forces Support

Angus council employs a small, dedicated team of staff in schools who work with children who have parents in the Armed Forces. The main aims of the team are:

  • to support Armed Forces children and young people in their new learning community
  • to help them settle in
  • to ensure that they continue to learn
  • to identify and support pupils who have gaps in their learning that have arisen from moving between different education systems.

The team will usually work with groups of children (military and non-military) but with a focus on meeting the needs of the Forces child.

Process for registering a child from an Armed Forces family

You should contact your school of choice to register your child. They should answer any questions you have and, if necessary help you complete any additional paperwork (ASN, placing requests etc).

The teachers can be available to meet Forces families new to the area, welcome them to the school and help support children while settling in. A welcome booklet is also available, contact the Education Support Officer at Angus Council for a copy.

Additional support needs

The school admission form asks for details of any Additional Support Needs and this is what triggers the ASN process. Based on this information a pre-enrolment meeting would be arranged by catchment school to discuss your child’s support needs. Depending on the significance of these needs a child may be placed in a Specifically Resourced School.

School holidays and term dates

There are four terms in our academic school year – spring, summer, autumn and winter. The school year starts in mid August and finishes at the end of June.

For term dates and school calendars please visit the Council website
