Secondary school activities

Our professionally delivered acitivites seek to support a range of classroom studies and have been devised with the four capacities of Curriculum for Excellence in mind.  They provide cross-curricular participative learning opportunities which aim to help pupils develop as confident individuals, successful learners, responsible citizens and effective contributors.




Whilst we offer programmed activities at a number of sites across Scotland, Learning Services aim to provide flexibility within its programme to meet the needs of individual teachers.  To achieve this we are running a number of activities that can be tailored more specifically to your particular classroom study and that can be booked on a mutually convenient date rather than being limited to programmed dates.

Learning Services are now taking bookings for the 2011-2012 programme.  The programme can be searched online and is available to download below:

Book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.  Unless otherwise stated in the schools programme, call Learning Services on 0131 668 8793 / 8736 to check availability and book.   Please have the name of the activity you wish to book ready when you call.
