Scottish Apprenticeship Week is a nationwide celebration of apprenticeships. It’s the time for everyone to shout about the benefits work-based learning brings to businesses, people and the economy. Scottish Apprenticeships help unlock today’s critical economic opportunities, providing employers with the skills to meet their needs now and for the future. The week, which runs from 3rd to the 7th March 2025, highlights how apprenticeships create a competitive and capable workforce for Scotland.

Please see the attached PowerPoints that provide an insight into careers through apprenticeships

Dear Parents and Carers

As we approach the final SQA exams, I wanted to share an important update regarding our supported study timetable for senior phase students.

We have made some adjustments to the timetable to better support our students in their preparation for the upcoming exams. The updated timetable is attached below.  Please click on the link to access this.

Why Attendance is Crucial:

Attending these supported study sessions is vital for our students’ success. These sessions provide targeted support, additional resources, and a structured environment that can significantly enhance their understanding and performance in their subjects.

How You Can Help:

We kindly ask for your support in encouraging your child to attend these sessions regularly. Your involvement and encouragement can make a substantial difference in their commitment and motivation during this crucial period.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s pupil support teacher.
