Education Scotland

“Overall, most young people enjoy learning at school and value the range of experiences that help them develop skills for learning, life and work. They appreciate the commitment and willingness demonstrated by teachers in offering additional learning opportunities, for example through Trinity Achieves. Where learning is best, young people are actively engaged in their tasks, taking responsibility, and working collaboratively with peers.”
