How to…find practical ways of supporting a school

– Looking for fresh ideas? Best site to go to is definitely Serve Your Local School https://www.syls.org.uk/

– While targeted at Schools Workers/Youth Workers, the Schoolswork site is well worth looking at: https://www.schoolswork.co.uk/home/ It is written for the situation in England and Wales, so you’ll have to adapt the material for Scottish schools, but it’s still a treasure trove of practical information and advice.

And have a look at the Case Studies on this website too.
