Light Up Learning

Light Up Learning is dedicated to putting young people in charge of their learning - giving them the resources, skills, and contacts they need to achieve their potential.

LIGHT UP LEARNING IS...

a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) providing one-to-one mentoring for high school students in Edinburgh and the Lothians. The programme has been successfully operating in partnership with Lasswade High School since February 2015 and is currently working to expand into other local schools.

The programme aims to address issues of unequal access to education and disengagement in the classroom by creating low-stress, supportive, and playful learning environments for young people who have experienced disadvantage. We place each student in charge of their own learning and give them the resources, skills, and contacts they need to achieve their potential.

Light Up Learning has been working with Lasswade High School since February 2015.

Through this partnership with Lasswade, we have helped 18 young people explore their individual passions.

It is because of this success that Lasswade has encouraged us to take on more students at the school. Eventually, we plan to move into other schools with a view to connect with as many students as possible.
