The Engaging Learners Service and Virtual Head Team, with additional funding from the Inclusion Team, has the exciting opportunity this session to provide National 5/Higher English and National 5 Mathematics to young people with an additional support need or those facing barriers to engagement with mainstream classes related to mental health. 

The sessions will be delivered by our experienced outreach teachers, all of whom have experience in delivering, assessing and marking national qualifications at a range of levels across a range of subjects.

We are offering N5/H English on Wednesday and N5 Math (or equivalent) on Thursday to a group of 12 young people from 6 secondary schools across the authority. We have capacity to complete qualifications in History, Modern Studies, Politics and People and Society with young people alongside these delivered classes.

Our Wednesday class is led by our secondary outreach teacher Jay Burgess and takes place on a Wednesday between 10am-2pm.

Our Thursday class is led by our secondary outreach teacher Val Bjerland and takes place on a Thursday between 10am-2pm.

The Hillview Community Centre offer is led by Matt Wadkins, Lead Officer - Engaging Learners Service and Virtual Head Team.

Matt leads on the administrative, curricular and pastoral responsibilities as well as liaison with the base schools for the attending young people.
