Our standards and quality report is an opportunity for us to reflect on how we are making a difference to children, young people and their families. The report demonstrates that against a backdrop of increasing financial challenge, we are still able to deliver improvements. I remain very proud of the many achievements of our schools and nurseries. I am particularly pleased with the percentage of young people going to higher education which has almost doubled since 2000. This shows that we are successfully raising expectations and challenging the ‘poverty of aspiration’ that continues to exist in some of our communities.
Increasingly, our work is being recognised as sector leading and we are frequently asked by Education Scotland and others to showcase our work – thank you to all who have presented at conferences or welcomed visitors to your school or nursery. Your commitment and passion is making a difference to our children, young people and their families.
