e-Sgoil National Offer for Scotland

Young people from across Scotland are still being offered access to a national, on-line education resource providing the opportunity to:

  • participate in an extensive series of live early-evening study support webinar lessons from their own home
  • benefit from specialist teacher input during the live, real-time webinar lessons
  • access subject specific resources in advance of the webinar lessons

This offer seeks to complement the education provision being provided by schools and local authorities across Scotland. The e-learning National Offer provides free, live, interactive webinar lessons in an extensive range of subjects for Level 5 and Higher courses.

All e-Sgoil webinar lessons are delivered by subject specialists, assisted by a second teacher. The following courses are on offer: Business Management, Chemistry, Computing Science, Eachdraidh, English, French, Gaelic, Gàidhlig, History, Mandarin, Maths, Music, Physics, RMPS and Spanish. Digital study skills lessons are also offered.

This study support provision is a key strand of a comprehensive National e-Learning offer which includes vacancy and supply cover to meet the staffing requirements of schools across the country, a programme of remote learning opportunities for interrupted learners – including accredited courses in Literacy and Numeracy – and a diverse range of curriculum enrichment activities, involving a number of external partners.

This is a fantastic opportunity and I would encourage all applicable senior phase pupils to engage with this programme in order to support their studies.  To register for this opportunity, pupils require their Glow login details and should use this link: http://www.e-sgoil.com/studysupport2020.

If you have further questions please contact me at school.
