Young people attain formal qualifications at school, however, learning also takes place outside the classroom, at home and in the wider community. 

Wider Achievement covers learning in other areas of the life of the school, and in the variety of activities children and young people are involved in, for example: 

• Hobbies and interests, such as participating in a sport 
• Youth work 
• Volunteering 
• Caring for a relative 
• Activities they undertake in the life of the school 
• Recognised awards or programmes, such as the Duke of Edinburgh's Award or John Muir Award 

Through these activities, they young people develop important skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work that can be of real value to them as they grow up. As a result, it is important that we recognise these achievements and help all young people develop the necessary skills to reach their full potential.  

At Lornshill Academy we are committed to providing opportunities for young people to develop these skills and looking at how we can celebrate all achievements.  Some ways in which we offer wider achievement include; 

• Saltire Award 
• John Muir Discovery Award in S1 
• Pupil leaders in sport, digital, wider achievement 
• Pupil Parliament 
• Employment in Citizenship Café  
• Leadership award 
• Young Philanthropy Initiative
