Vibe is a wellbeing service based in our Linlithgow campus for neurodivergent young people aged 12-18 who are unable to attend a traditional mainstream school.

Providing a holistic programme of wellbeing and skills development, Vibe aims to build confidence and resilience, and through our person-centred approach, achieve agreed ambitions, and where appropriate reengage with learning.

Our Learning and Wellbeing Practitioners support young people to achieve their ambitions using a wellbeing framework and a programme of learning and skills development activities developed to meet individual needs.

As a wellbeing service, Vibe’s key focus is to reduce anxiety and build resilience to improve self-esteem. Through a variety of activities, techniques and programmes, Vibe aims to help young people develop new skills and relationships while developing knowledge that will enhance life opportunities.

Co-developed with neurodivergent young people, and supported by our specialists experienced in this area, the specifically designed Vibe environment is a critical factor in creating a warm, low arousal, and friendly space for neurodivergent young people to thrive and achieve their personal goals.

Young people have use of a range of rooms and also have access to the campus Bistro during lunch time. Other campus facilities including the grounds, gym hall, swimming pool and outdoor all-weather pitch are also available to Vibe.

Vibe provides a variety of activities designed to match to the interests and skills of young people which include:

• arts and crafts
• music and drama
• yoga and relaxation
• sports
• cooking and baking
• life skills
• gaming
• creative writing
