What was done?
Four schools will be followed throughout the period of Pupil Equity Funding. The developing story of how each school works to close the poverty-related attainment gap and raise attainment will be described. There will be opportunities for others to engage with the schools - in relation to their own Scottish Attainment Challenge interventions.
Why was it done?
Headteacher Focus Groups run by Education Scotland indicated a desire to have case studies provided which were interactive and collaborative and which were regularly refreshed. Headteachers expressed a wish to be able to ‘follow the story’ of individual schools and their engagement with the Scottish Attainment Challenge.
What was the impact?
Four separate projects will be followed as part of the Live Narrative Approach. Each shows early promise of impact on raising attainment across a range of interventions.
