Working with primary and secondary schools

Many members of the University work with local primary and secondary schools.

There is no single point-of-contact at the University for all work with local schools. The University’s Working with Schools and Edinburgh Community Engagement Forum Teams include many colleagues who works with local schools in various capacities.

The University’s Widening Participation team works with schools where progression to higher education is traditionally lower, operating through specific recurring programmes. The University’s Moray House School of Education and Sport has a wealth of school connections.

Things to consider

1. How does what I can offer fit with the Scottish curriculum?

2. How much time will this require of school staff, if any? 

3. Can I offer what I’m doing on a recurring basis, so that the school can come to rely on it?

4. Which schools do I want to engage with, and why?
