Our Aims & Strategy
Strategic Framework 2024 — 2027
A new name, a new chapter

After 20 years as Glasgow ESOL Forum, we’ve made the exciting change of name to ESOL Scotland. This is more than just a new name – it’s a fresh start and a chance to build on the amazing work we’ve already done together.
Our name change aims to:
- Reflect our scope
- Highlight our reach
- Boost our visibility
- Help us grow, collaborate and strengthen partnerships nationally
Our Central Ambition
Our central ambition is clear and unwavering: to reach and support more learners across Scotland. We envision a future where every individual arriving in Scotland, seeking to learn English, finds an abundance of accessible, high-quality services ready to meet their needs.

Our Strategic Priorities
- Nothing about learners without learners
- Pioneer transformative ESOL learning
- Establish a curriculum
- Cultivate a culture of kindness
- Expand our reach and accessibility
- Advocate for and lead change
