City of Edinburgh Council Schools & Colleges Partnership

SCHOOL COLLEGE PARTNERSHIP SURVEY

The results are in!

We asked over 100 pupils about what they thought of going to college while still at school. They told us they'd had a very positive experience.

The questionnaire was completed by pupils who took part in School/College Partnership courses during session 2007 - 08 and 2008 – 09. Pupils told us that in College they have:

  • learned new practical skills
  • increased your personal skills
  • grown in self confidence
  • enjoyed stimulating and challenging courses
  • had good working relationships with college staff
Some of the things the pupils said:
  • "Brilliant lecturers... good atmosphere"
  • "We are treated differently to school... like an adult"
  • "I liked mixing with other schools"
  • "You are made to feel more responsible for yourself"
