The purpose of this self-evaluation resource is to support the achievement of equity in Scottish education. It is designed to assist early years settings, schools , local authorities, regional improvement collaboratives and local and national partners in bringing about further improvement using Scottish Attainment Challenge funding. It has been used widely by schools and local authorities to support their work in relation to achieving equity.

This resource was first published in December 2019. It has since been updated in September 2020 in recognition of the impact of COVID-19 and now in October 2023 to highlight the interconnections between Additional Support Needs (ASN), the Scottish Attainment Challenge (SAC) and poverty.

The document may be helpful as a stand-alone resource but it can also be used in conjunction with other self-evaluation frameworks and is not intended to replace other frameworks.

This revised self-evaluation resource will support the education system to take a closer look at the most effective approaches to achieving equity and help establishments and the wider system, reflect on the impact of poverty on learners and learning. The following questions remain at the heart of self-evaluation:

  • How are we doing?
  • How do we know?
  • What are we going to do now?

Improvement questions

  • How clear are we that we are making progress towards achieving equity at school, local authority and regional level?
  • How well are we using our Scottish Attainment Challenge Funding to ensure sustainable improvements in culture, ethos and pedagogy to improve outcomes for learners?
  • To what extent are we considering equity across the four contexts of learning?
  • To what extent are we ensuring that our considerations for SAC are inclusive of all learners and establishments, including those supporting children and young people with identified ASNs who are also impacted by poverty?
