Headteachers expressed a wish to be able to ‘follow the story’ of individual schools and their engagement with the Scottish Attainment Challenge.

The live narrative project follows schools throughout a period of Pupil Equity Funding. The developing story of how each school works to close the poverty-related attainment gap and raise attainment is described. There will be opportunities for others to engage with the schools in relation to their own Scottish Attainment Challenge interventions.

The live narrative approach has three principles:

  • Communication: regular communications about live narrative schools

  • Collaboration: opportunities for practitioners and school leaders to interact with live narrative schools

  • Review: exemplars will provide updates on the school’s engagement with the Scottish Attainment Challenge

Exemplars from schools can be used to support professional dialogue within and between establishments around their own Scottish Attainment Challenge interventions.

​Extending and enhancing vocabulary understanding and usage in oral and written responses. Partnership working with NHS Fife Speech and Language Therapy (SaLT) Services.​

  • How did this data inform our choice of intervention?

  • What subsequent data are we gathering to measure the effectiveness of our intervention?

  • What is our focus in relation to the Scottish Attainment Challenge?​

  • How might we engage with these Live Narrative exemplars to challenge and influence our own on-going practice?
