Developing Young Workforce

Lockhart Campus has a number of Developing Young Workforce projects

These are “Lockhart Campus Growers, Bee Kind Beekeeping, the Lockhart Coffee Shop Barista, Lockhart Wheelies and Lockhart Digital Media group”. These projects are funded by Developing Young Workforce Ayrshire (DYW) and are also supported by school staff and lecturers from the Ayrshire College.

Each of these projects are designed to provide an important vocational provision for our students. Pupils work on a range of SQA units as part of their learning. The units are selected to compliment the learning and activities associated with each project.

The projects also aim to provide our students with a hands-on approach to learning, which helps develop their communication skills, commitment, interpersonal skills and above all, their confidence.

We have been proud to observe our students thrive in resilience and determination and we have noticed an increase in their self-esteem and their motivation to learn and develop a wide range of transferrable skills in preparation for life and opportunities beyond school.
