Scotland’s Enterprising Schools
Schools throughout Scotland engage in enterprise activity. For some this can mean a one-off event, for others enterprise is a way of life, it is the way in which the curriculum is delivered and the way young people learn. Launched at the Scottish Learning Festival in 2015, Scotland’s Enterprising Schools (SES) is an online resource designed to help more schools across the country take a whole school approach to enterprise teaching and learning.
SES, funded by the Scottish Government, provides a wealth of information to guide and inspire schools to introduce innovative enterprising activities and empower young people through an educational system that has a CAN DO spirit with entrepreneurship and innovation at its core, allowing them to fulfil their potential and develop skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work.
To help us drive our ambitious agenda for improving outcomes for Scottish Learners, we are now recruiting a secondee to work in collaboration with Scotland’s Enterprising Schools and Education Scotland to develop resources for schools.
