Progress
Many factors have led to the improvement in the number of care experienced young people
choosing to share their status with the College in academic year 2016-2017; the figure
previously was low as was the attainment of those who had identified as care experienced.
The significant increase in disclosure and in the number of those young people with a Personal
Learning Support Plan (PLSP) enable the College to work towards ensuring positive outcomes
are achieved. Supporting positive outcomes for this group of students is a College priority
Review of support available to students who are or become pregnant or have caring
responsibilities is continuing, together with work to develop as well as enhanced data capturing
mechanisms to evaluate student success
Key achievements include:
-Contemplation room introduced at Kilmarnock Campus with an inter-faith service developed
across the main College campuses
-Nil by Mouth, the leading anti-sectarian charity, delivered staff training inputs
-24/7+ course, part of the HIVE programme, introduced the Nil by Mouth competition ‘Pitch
Perfect’ to foster good relations between different religions and beliefs
-Sport and Fitness team continue to develop positive relationships with Supporters Direct and
their initiative ‘Colour of our scarves All. This recently resulted in an HND campaign focused on
anti-racism and sectarianism in all its forms
-College events calendar highlights key dates related to religion and beliefs
-RESPECT College-wide campaign
Attainment levels across student groups demonstrate no significant difference
