Providing curriculum support to primary school partners, where there is a lack of resource or expertise in areas such as, modern languages, mathematics, physical education and sciences. This curriculum support is provided by trained undergraduate volunteers.

Why

It is important that all school pupils experience a broad and relevant curriculum, regardless of which school they attend.  As part of our primary and early years programme we work with local primary partners to makes sure that where there may be a lack of resource or expertise this does not adversely affect pupils. Our Curriculum Ambassadors act as positive role models for participation in class while being living examples of the joy of taking part. Having established such a context, the Curriculum Ambassadors facilitate curriculum delivery and assist in attainment raising – often providing opportunities in subjects that pupils have never studied before.

What

The project offers either the delivery of bespoke curriculum materials in modern languages & the sciences or assistance in delivering existing curriculum materials in mathematics and physical education. The curriculum ambassadors will normally be in school every second week working with pupils in their allocated school – allowing for a relationship of trust to develop throughout the academic year. The ambassadors are support throughout the year by their link schoolteacher and a member of the WP team.

Who

Primary 6 & Primary 7 pupils from: Canal View, Colinton, Clovenstone, Craigentinny, Craigroyston, Craigour Park, Forthview, Gilmerton, Leith, Liberton, Pirniehall, Prestonfield and Sighthill Primaries.
