S3 Assessments 2020 

Our aim is to help you find the information you need to develop children and young people’s talents and abilities in a way that will support them to meet life’s common challenges, develop their resilience, and have healthier minds as a result.

ERC has developed this resource to support young people, parents and carers.  It was launched last week.  Please have a look at it as it’s very helpful and provides advice for young people.  There are a number of helpful suggestions for parents and carers too.

Easter School 2020 Timetable 

Parental Letter

Woodfarm High School Developing the Young Workforce Pupil Parliament have created a short video to promote National Apprenticeship week and to raise awareness for different career pathways.

Visit the DYW section of the school website for more information.

#No Wrong Pathway 

At Barclays, there’s more to discover. 2020 marks our biggest ever year for Apprenticeships in Glasgow and we would like to invite parents to one of two ‘virtual’ insight events taking place during Scottish Apprenticeship Week.

These events are specifically for parents to help them discover more about our Apprenticeship opportunities and to share this with their children. Parents will have the opportunity to hear from our business, our Apprentices/Apprentice-Parents and our Early Careers teams. We will also walk through the application and assessment process and the support available through our LifeSkills programme, with the opportunity for Q&A at the end.

The parents we are keen to engage with are:

• S3 to S6 Parents, interested in finding out about Graduate Apprentice opportunities for their children, either for applications this year or for 2021 and beyond.
• Any parents interested in Barclays Apprenticeships overall.

Session Times 

Parents will take part individually using simple pc technology details of which our delivery partner, Channel Talent, will send prior to each session. The available session times are:

• Session 1 (5th March) @ 19.00-19.45
• Session 2 (6th March) @ 19.00-19.45
