School Ambassador Programme

New School Ambassador Recognition Programme

We’d like to introduce our new recognition programme for our SCQF Ambassador schools. The aim of the programme is to give schools a set of criteria to work towards within each level and keep them engaged and involved as much as possible. At the same time, it allows us to highlight and showcase some of the fantastic work happening in schools across the country!

To do this we have developed 5 essential themes that we would like schools to focus on: 

• Whole School Approach
• Pupil Awareness
• Parental Engagement and Understanding
• Curriculum Offer / Pathway Progression
• Development of External Relationships

Within each theme we have outlined what a school will need to evidence to obtain Bronze, Silver or Gold status. Take a look at this version of the tiered approach.

It’s simple and quick to upload evidence and much of what we’re looking for can be in video, photo, short reports or web links.

Why should our school get involved?

There are various benefits to being involved in the School Ambassador programme including:

• Free training with school staff to raise awareness of the SCQF and the School Ambassador programme
  
  
  
• Access to a set of practical resources to help deliver in house training for pupils, parents and staff. As with many great Ambassador programmes, Pupil Ambassadors are the key. We’ll give you the tools to deliver training sessions with them so they can help raise awareness and use their creativity to engage parents and their peers.
  
  
  
• Essential resources to help everyone involved in the school community understand the SCQF and how it can be used to develop learner pathways.
  
  
  
• Share ideas and best practice with over 100+ schools in Scotland covering subject pathways, understanding qualifications and recognising personal achievement.
  
  
  
• Regular support and engagement and showcasing of what’s working well with your school.
  
  
  
• Attend SCQF best practice events and projects.
  
  
  
• Progress through our recognition programme, showcasing the great work you’re doing but also get the recognition you deserve!
  
  
  
• Take part in SCQF competitions through our social media.

To register your interest, contact us below and a member of the team will get back to you to explain the programme, discuss training needs and confirm a session date.
