LEAPS Information & Support
LEAPS Summer Support
The LEAPS Team is here all summer! If your LEAPS-eligible students are feeling anxious and want to talk through anything – offers, results, back-up plans, alternative options, S6 subject choices (if moving from S5 into S6), or if they are just unsure and want to chat – we are here and ready to help them. Students can email us at leaps@ed.ac.uk or call us on 07774336265.
LEAPS Results Day Helpline – Tuesday 9th August 2022
We’ll be running a LEAPS Results Day Helpline for LEAPS-eligible students on Tuesday 9th August 2022, should they require any advice – for example with clearing, college options or course choices. (This is aimed primarily at those who were S6 until very recently and are now leaving school, and those who have recently moved from S5 into S6.) It’s likely that we will have an online form on the LEAPS website on Results Day which students can complete to request a call-back from a LEAPS advisor. We’ll be in touch with a reminder and will share details on our website closer to the time.

Managing Stress and Worry: Workshops for Young People – (CAMHS Midlothian)
Our NHS colleagues from the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) are running a two-part workshop for young people, supporting them to manage stress and worry. These sessions focus on helping young people to understand stress and worry and in finding strategies that can help them to manage these feelings. All secondary school-aged young people are very welcome to join these workshops. The CAMHS team (Kyle, Gemma & Catherine) will deliver these sessions with the opportunity for questions throughout and at the end of the workshop using the Q&A chat function. There is no expectation for attendees to ask questions, they can join and just listen over the hour. Cameras are automatically disabled on Microsoft Teams Live Events so you won’t be on camera during the sessions.
You do not need to register for these workshops, simply join the workshop using the links provided below. Further information can be found on the information sheet attached.
