Partners

Our Partners

At Oban High School, partnership working is central to how we support young people to develop skills, confidence and ambition for the future.

We are proud to work with a wide and diverse range of partners, including organisations, businesses, voluntary groups and individuals, who help enrich learning and provide meaningful opportunities both in and beyond the classroom.

Our partnerships strengthen:

• Learner pathways from Broad General Education through to the Senior Phase

• Skills development for learning, life and work

• Positive destinations and sustained achievement

• Inclusion, wellbeing and aspiration

Careers, Skills & Pathways

Through partnership working, pupils benefit from high-quality experiences that support informed choices and future planning. These include:

• Careers information, advice and guidance

• Employer engagement and industry insight

• Work-related learning and employability skills

• Support with applications, interviews and next steps

These experiences help young people understand the world of work and see how their learning connects to future opportunities.

Work Placements & Employer Engagement

Work placements and employer partnerships play a vital role in preparing pupils for life beyond school. Through these opportunities, young people are able to:

• Experience real workplaces

• Apply classroom learning in practical contexts

• Build confidence, responsibility and independence
  
  

Placements are carefully planned and supported, ensuring they are meaningful, inclusive and aligned to individual interests and aspirations.

Wider Achievement & Senior Phase Opportunities

Our partners support a wide range of Senior Phase pathways and wider achievement, including vocational learning, skills-based awards and alternative qualifications.

This ensures pupils have flexible, personalised pathways that recognise different strengths, talents and ambitions while maintaining high expectations for progress and attainment.

Health, Wellbeing & Community Links

Strong partnerships with community, voluntary and third-sector organisations help us to:

• Promote wellbeing and resilience

• Support inclusion and equity

• Strengthen relationships between school, families and community
  
  

These connections play an important role in supporting young people holistically and ensuring they feel safe, supported and valued.

Our Thanks

We are incredibly grateful to the many organisations, businesses and individuals who support our work and, most importantly, support our pupils.

The opportunities, experiences and guidance our young people benefit from would not be possible without the time, expertise and commitment of our partners.

Together, these partnerships help pupils to:

• Build confidence, resilience and aspiration

• Develop skills for learning, life and work

• Make informed choices about their futures

• Feel connected to their community
