Note about school/college partnerships:

If a college is delivering the Interdisciplinary Project on behalf of a school, and the school wishes to make the (group award) Baccalaureate entry, both the school and the college will require approval for the Interdisciplinary Project Unit.

The school should complete an IP1 form, describing the partnership agreement. This will gain them approval for the Interdisciplinary Project, and will also trigger approval for the Scottish Baccalaureate.

Entries for the Baccalaureate can then be made by the school, and entries for the Interdisciplinary Project  by the college. Our systems will tie the entries together.
