Industry Links
As part of the Scottish Executive`s `Determined To Succeed` initiative, the school actively seeks links with as many business partners as possible. We already benefit from assistance from a number of different firms and organisations who provide support for our work experience programme and enterprise events such as Industry Awareness Day.
We are constantly looking to establish further links and would welcome contact from the business community. This can be done through initial contact with Graeme Gardner, Depute Head Teacher with responsibility for Enterprise in Education.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
East Renfrewshire’s Vocational Programme brings various Council services together with local employers and colleges of further education, to provide a range of stimulating vocational courses for pupils.
The Programme currently offers approximately 300 places providing a broader range of options for East Renfrewshire pupils entering 5th or 6th year, and allowing them to study for a vocational or national qualification together with their other subjects. These alternative awards will enable young people to gain skills which will help them enter the workplace or further education in the future.
Pupils attending East Renfrewshire Secondary Schools who are about to enter 5th or 6th year. Places are limited, therefore pupils will be nominated and interviewed by their school prior to a place being offered.
All courses will run for 1 year and will be delivered within the school week. Locations are given in the appropriate Programme page. Pupils do not attend during in-service days, or exams, public holidays and school holidays.
