  8. Forth Valley College is working with ten schools to deliver the Baccalaureate ‘There is a real feeling of excitement in the department. The staff are keen to make a success of it.’

  9. Langside College is working with six schools ‘We were anxious to deliver the Languages Baccalaureate in its first year. Working with local schools has made this possible.’
