Our school provides a new approach to learning, blending traditional teaching with real, project-based learning and work experience. You will work in small groups with individual support from professional mentors. Joining us makes sense if you plan to pursue a career in the medicine and healthcare sectors.

Scott College has a maximum of 375 students at full capacity so each year group will have just 75 students. That means smaller classes and a higher teacher- to-student ratio, delivering more time and one-to-one support. Small schools like ours combine traditional teaching with a pioneering approach to learning with a focus on teaching through projects individually designed for you. Plus we offer an extended school day so it’s more like work and university. Your learning will be rooted in the real world, which helps you develop the skills and experience you need to flourish in life and work.

Guided by local healthcare employers, we offer a range of academic and vocational

The programme is for students from Year 9 and they progress through levels including Apprentice, Graduate and Master.

The 5 attributes developed by the programme were chosen following consultation with employers:

• Leadership• Organisation• Resilience• Initiative• Communication

We also look at Wellbeing, Careers and British Values through this programme

qualifications at Levels 2 and 3. These include GCSEs in Chemistry, Physics and Biology, English and Maths at Key Stage 4 .

At Key Stage 5 we offer A Levels and Level 3 Vocational qualifications as well as an Access Path for those looking to improve their grades. Crucially, we offer work placements linked directly to employment opportunities in themedical and healthcare sector.

You will gain a broad range of employabilityand life skills through the PiXL Edge programme. We expect our students to progress on to university, further training, apprenticeship and into employment after completing their studies at Scott College.

We are different, we are a small school

Project-based learning works to accelerate your learning across the curriculum by developing skills such as independent research, presentation skills and speaking and listening skills - just the sort of skills our employment partners tell us you need.

Project-based learning helps you become work-ready

Projects will be developed with our Healthcare employer partners who will set the research project briefs. The first thing we will do is teach you all about projects and project teams and the best way to learn from them. You will complete a range of projects, which may last from just a few days to several weeks each. This learning is similar to the approach taken by Plymouth University in many of their medical and health sciences degrees, where problem-based learning is used to teach many aspects of the course to undergraduate students.

Being professionalBriefings will take place each week, where you will meet with your project team and your personal coach. These meetings will follow a formal structure, where one of theteam will chair the meeting and take notes. In these meetings you will review progress towards completion of the project, as well as discuss action points for the following week. We will encourage and support you to complete a voluntary work placement outside of your school hours, such as supporting after-school activities in local primary schools, working in after-school clubs or taking part involuntary work in a healthcare setting.

We will be providing the young people of Plymouth, and beyond, with an outstanding academic education in a small school with small classes.
