At the Lothians Equal Access Programme for Schools (LEAPS), we support talented young people in south east Scotland, providing them with information and encouragement to apply to higher education. This includes delivering the Schools for Higher Education Programme with selected schools in Edinburgh and Lothians, Forth Valley and the Scottish Borders. In total, we work with 59 state secondary schools in the region, targeting young people with little or no family experience of higher education or those who may have experienced adverse social and/or economic circumstances.
Forthcoming Events:
S4 HN Experience
Forth Valley College, Stirling Campus - 18 June 2013
West Lothian College, Livingston - 20 June 2013
The ‘HN Experience’ takes S4 students to a college campus for a half day event to give them the opportunity to find out about Higher Education options available within colleges.
They will discover how to apply, gain an understanding of the student experience, and learn more about the range of courses on offer. There will also be an overview of progression and articulation options.
This event is aimed at S4s with the potential of leaving school with 2-3 Highers, and in the future may be interested in progressing to HN level study at college.
If you would like to know more about these events please contact Sarah Austen at LEAPS sarah.austen@ed.ac.uk or call the LEAPS Office.
