A warm welcome from all at Education Scotland.

Education Scotland is the national improvement agency, everything we do is for Scotland’s learners, with Scotland’s educators.

Colleagues across Education Scotland keep this core value front and centre of all that they do, whether that is linked to delivering the Scottish Attainment Challenge, supporting practitioner through professional learning, or curriculum design.

Our CLD team are here to support you - you will find our contact details under Meet the CLD team.

You can find a lot of our resources and professional learning offers on the Education Scotland website. Navigating the website gives more detail about what you will find in each section.

CLD officers are linked to local authorities across Scotland.
