What is an xl club?

The Prince’s Trust xL Club aims to support pupils for whom a traditional academic curriculum may not be appropriate.  It is a five term closed programme in S3 & S4 and is an alternative to one Standard Grade, taking three periods per week.  There are 12 to 15 young people selected per group and we aim to have a ‘rich mix’ of students with 1 or 2 Advisers.

The xL Club programme covers six main curricular areas;

Year 1 

Personal, interpersonal team skills

Citizenship and community awareness

Community based project

Year 2

Entrepreneurship and enterprise

Preparation for the world of work/training

Residential (optional)

Within these areas young people will develop skills in;

• Communication
• Team working
• Leadership
• Presentation
• Organisation
• Preparing for work
• Improving own learning
• Self Awareness
• Taking responsibility
• Confidence
• Citizenship
• Risk taking
• Creativity
• Motivation

At the end of S4 pupils will be awarded either a Bronze, Silver or a Gold ASDAN Award.
