Gaelic Learner Education
We deliver Gaelic Learner Education (GLE) using the Scottish Government’s 1+2 language learning approach. This means children learn Gaelic as an additional language from Primary 1 through to the end of secondary school.
Under this approach:
- every child learns one modern language (L2) from Primary 1 to the end of S3
- every child is entitled to learn a second modern language (L3) from Primary 5 onwards
Gaelic can be taught as either L2 or L3.
You can read more about this policy in Language Learning in Scotland: A 1+2 Approach.
