Education Scotland has today published the first two reports in a Curriculum Impact series.
Education Scotland has today published the first two reports in a Curriculum Impact series that is designed to present a subject-by-subject picture of how children and young people are experiencing learning in different areas of the 3-18 curriculum across the country.
These first two reports focus on the sciences and social studies. Setting a pattern for others that will follow, they provide subject-specific analysis and evaluation of current practice, based on a range of independent inspection activities, and they then go on to identify emerging innovative and thought-provoking practice, while highlighting important areas for development.

Angus Council Grants Scheme Presentations
Angus Council Grants Scheme Presentations
Angus Council wants more people to hear about the grants it makes available for community and voluntary groups. The external funding team which administers the grants will make two presentations on the schemes available, including the new Angus Events Fund.
Anyone who has not applied to the Angus Council Community Grant Scheme before, or wants to hear more about the new events fund is invited to attend a short presentation followed by a question and answer session.
The first session will take place in Brechin on Thursday 7 June, and the second in Carnoustie on Wednesday 13 June. Both events run from 3.30-4.30pm.
Infrastructure Services Convener Councillor Mairi Evans said:
“This is a good opportunity for people who are involved with voluntary and other community-based groups, or who organise events, to find out what grants might be available to them. I would urge people to come along to these events as they offer an invaluable opportunity to see and discuss exactly what’s on offer.”
