Stewarton Academy School Improvement Plan 2021-22
The National Improvement Framework
In 2018 the Scottish Government published the National Improvement Framework and Improvement Plan for Scottish Education to help us deliver the twin aims of excellence and equity in education. In practise for us this means developing a broad range of skills and capacities, whilst supporting our pupils to thrive, regardless of their social circumstances or additional needs.
The vision of Excellence through raising attainment: ensuring that every child achieves the highest standards set out within Curriculum for Excellence levels, and the right range of skills, qualifications and achievements to allow them to succeed.
Achieving equity: ensuring every child has the same opportunity to succeed, with a particular focus on closing the poverty-related attainment gap.
National Improvement Framework – Key Priorities
- Improvement in attainment, particularly in literacy and numeracy
- Closing the attainment gap between the most and least disadvantaged children
- Improvement in children’s health and wellbeing
- Improvement in employability skills and sustained positive school leaver destination
