Profiles are primarily aimed at learners and their parents and draw together a range of information about a child or young person\u2019s learning. It is one of the ways in which a learner\u2019s achievements can be recognised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of profiling is ongoing and progressive for all learners throughout their school years (2-18yrs). It is important that profiling is seen within the context of career education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents and carers can find out more about pupil profiles from Parentzone Scotland:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/education.gov.scot\/parentzone\/curriculum-in-scotland\/assessment-and-achievement\/profiling\/p7-profiles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>P7 Profiles<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/education.gov.scot\/parentzone\/curriculum-in-scotland\/assessment-and-achievement\/profiling\/s3-profiles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>S3 Profiles<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This provides information on how as a parent you can support your child\u2019s decisions by encouraging them to talk about their strengths, skills and interests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In Nursery, your child will have a Personal Learning Plan (PLP) or \u2018Special Book\u2019; this may be in an online platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be a record of your child\u2019s progress and achievements throughout their time in nursery and will include photographs, samples of work and staff comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your child will be involved in creating their PLP and talking about their learning. We would like parents and carers to add items and comments to the PLP and to contribute to planning for your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Primary Schools, nationally it has been agreed that profiles will be produced at P7 although working towards profiles may start earlier than this. Parents are involved in supporting their child\/children in this process. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>By the end of S3 all young people will have completed the Broad General Education (BGE) Phase of Curriculum for Excellence. Young people should have produced their own profile, supported by staff, which gives a reliable and full account of their progress and achievements to date. It should include a focus on what they feel are their latest and best successes and the skills they have developed. Parents and carers should know why this is produced and support their child in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/public\/dgauthorityhandbook\/uploads\/sites\/9000\/2025\/08\/01142901\/Authority-Handbook-3-Pupil-Profiles.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/public\/dgauthorityhandbook\/uploads\/sites\/9000\/2025\/08\/01142901\/Authority-Handbook-3-Pupil-Profiles.png 400w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/public\/dgauthorityhandbook\/uploads\/sites\/9000\/2025\/08\/01142901\/Authority-Handbook-3-Pupil-Profiles-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/dgauthorityhandbook\/?page_id=222\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/public\/dgauthorityhandbook\/uploads\/sites\/9000\/2025\/11\/11105240\/Authority-Handbook-28-Previous.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1135\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/dgauthorityhandbook\/?page_id=222\">Prev page<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/dgauthorityhandbook\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/public\/dgauthorityhandbook\/uploads\/sites\/9000\/2025\/11\/11105238\/Authority-Handbook-28-Home.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1133\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/dgauthorityhandbook\/\">Home page<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/dgauthorityhandbook\/?page_id=229\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/public\/dgauthorityhandbook\/uploads\/sites\/9000\/2025\/11\/11105239\/Authority-Handbook-28-Next.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1134\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/dgauthorityhandbook\/?page_id=229\">Next page<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pupil Profiles A pupil profile is a snapshot of a child\u2019s or young person\u2019s best achievements at a given point in time.
