Lochend Family Learning Project

The project came to an end in July -07. The Learning Links pages will still be available online for some time, though no active updating of links will be made.

Introducing children from Lochend Learning Community to opportunities through the Greater Easterhouse Learning Network.

The Aims of this Project were:

To introduce P5-P7 pupils to their local community learning centre and its facilities. Primary 5 and 6 pupils will be provided with an induction to the network, Internet access, an introduction to the Pathfinder website and e-mail accounts.
Primary 7 IT skills development at the Learning Centres will be linked to the Primary/Secondary Liaison work at Lochend High or to pupil needs as specified by the Primary School.
To involve young people and their families in learning together using their local community learning centre.
To develop web based learning resources for upper primary and lower secondary children in partnership with Lochend New Learning Community. These will support the school curriculum. The links will be found on the online learning page.
Development of homework support.

This project links the Greater Easterhouse Community Learning and Development Plan closely with Lochend Learning Community, in line with the action recommended made by HMI in its report ‘Community Learning in Greater Easterhouse’. It was reviewed as part of the HMIE follow up inspection of Community Learning and Development in Greater Easterhouse, February 2005. The project was reviewed in relation to the action point to link the community learning plan more closely with the Education Services’ Learning Communities initiative. It earned a review grade of Very Good.

The Pathfinder includes links to 3rd party sites which are deemed to be useful or of interest to residents of Greater Easterhouse as part of the Learning Network service. However the Greater Easterhouse Learning Network is not responsible for the content on 3rd party websites and a link to a site should not be regarded as a recommendation of the service.
