Books play an important role in the lives of the people we support, offering opportunities for learning, creativity, and personal growth. That’s why we’re excited to celebrate Book Week Scotland this week. 📚

Book Week Scotland is an annual celebration of books and reading that takes place across Scotland. During Book Week, people of all ages and walks of life come together to share the joy of reading. 

Take Gate trainee Corrie, for example. She has set herself a goal to finish reading her Jacquline Wilson book, Candyfloss. For Corrie, reading is a way to relax and enjoy a good story, and she’s eager to make progress with her book. ⭐

Last Friday, our Sensational Learning Centre (SLC) welcomed a special visit from the SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) 👋
 
SQA visited our campus to meet with Head of Learning Services, Angela Evans, alongside our colleagues and the young people themselves.
 
As part of their new programme to engage with educators and learners across Scotland, SQA was keen to hear our experiences of supporting young people in SLC through their exams. Together, we engaged in discussion on key topics, including assessment arrangements, accessibility of arrangements and potential networking opportunities. 

The session provided a platform for young people to share their feedback on their experiences, while staff involved in delivering SQA programmes contributed insights into effective practices.
 
A huge thank you to the SQA team for taking the time to visit us and learn more about our work! 😊
