As part of the Midlothian Provision, Dalkeith High School works in partnership with all Midlothian Secondary Schools, Edinburgh College and Queen Margaret University to extend the provision of Higher, Advanced Higher and vocational courses which we offer our students.
Students travel predominantly on a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon to venues across the local authority, which enables us to meet specific needs of individual students who wish to study courses that are not available in Dalkeith High School.
In practice, given the size of the school, we are able to offer a huge range of school based courses. However, there are specialist courses that either require facilities or staff knowledge that we cannot accommodate, so the Midlothian Provision helps our students benefit from these wider opportunities.
The Midlothian Provision also means that we welcome on an annual basis students from other secondary schools, who are able to access the range of courses we offer.
