S4 PUPILS
The S4 element of Reach and Access to a Career will take place online and will be ready for pupils from the 1st March.  There is no registration process for pupils, instead we are simply asking you to pass on the link below to all interested and eligible pupils.

S4 online modules – www.gla.ac.uk/reach/s4online
From this webpage pupils will be able to access the modules for the subject they are interested in applying to.

The S4 online module introduces pupils to the Reach and Access to a Career professions (see below) and includes information on entry and subject requirements, skills development and career pathways. The module is set out in Microsoft SWAY which is fully accessible and does not require any downloads or registration. It has been designed so that pupils can work through it in their own time and can also be done in stages.
Once complete the pupils will be asked to submit a very short statement reflecting on what they have learnt from the modules.
