All qualifications delivered in Lochside Academy are accredited and mapped as part of the SCQF, which can be seen below. This framework charts the progression that can be made by individuals through school and beyond.  The framework covers learning in all settings: school, college, university and work based learning. Understanding and using this framework will help young people and their families to plan journeys through our senior phase and beyond.
