Pathways to the Professions, a project which works with pupils interested in studying Law, Medicine and Vet Medicine in Edinburgh and the Lothians, is being merged with another project to form Access to the Professions with Reach Scotland.  In connection with this change, the project will no longer work with pupils from Boroughmuir High School as the focus will be on supporting pupils in schools with below-average progression rates to Higher Education.
