What is the School College Partnership?
The overall rationale for school/college partnership is to enable colleges to help schools in their task of developing the capacities of young people as outlined in
A Curriculum for Excellence: to enable them to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors to society and at work. It can be encapsulated in the following purposes:
- to widen pupils' opportunities for progression and prepare them for further study;
- to ease pupils' transition from school to further learning, training or employment;
- to broaden pupils' curriculum choices; and
- to enrich pupils' educational experiences
Who can apply for a place on the programme?

How is the programme delivered?
Where possible, College staff teach the subject on school premises in custom built classrooms (there may be some courses taught in college if the school does not have the specialist facilities available, in these cases the pupils will be escorted to college and transport is provided).
When is the programme delivered?
The vocational programme will be taught within the school day.
