About LEAPS

LEAPS is a widening participation programme which aims to encourage and advise students who are traditionally under-represented in higher education. We work with young people in South East Scotland, supporting their aspirations and providing impartial advice about higher education. We currently work with state secondary schools throughout South East Scotland, supporting pupils who match LEAPS eligibility criteria.

What's coming up?

Hybrid Working Update

The LEAPS team is very much still here to support you. We are currently working both from home and the office.

What is LEAPS? Presentation

Please watch our What is LEAPS? Presentation here to find out more about LEAPS.

S5 Interviews

This is a one-to-one thirty-minute interview with a member of the LEAPS team. We’ll offer you individual advice and guidance on higher education entry requirements and focus on course choices for S6.

S5 Presentation

This presentation explains who the LEAPS team is, what we do, and also outlines LEAPS eligibility criteria. The session is for students who may have the potential to go on to higher education and provides an overview of what higher education is, including key information relating to entry qualifications, application procedures, exit points and articulation (moving from college to university study).

S5 Course Checker

S5 LEAPS-eligible students from LEAPS Group 2 schools can complete our Course Checker form for advice on S6 subject choices and post-school plans.

How to contact a university

We know that contacting a university to ask a question can feel very daunting, but LEAPS is here to help and hopefully make it a bit easier for you!
