Visitors to Education Scotland’s websites will have noticed that significant changes have been made to ensure we continue to meet the needs of practitioners as Scotland’s education system evolves.
Previous content has been significantly streamlined onto four sites:
- Corporate website ‒ with information about Education Scotland, policy and legislation, news, Scotland’s education system and our role in it
- The National Improvement Hub ‒ the dedicated source of education improvement materials and resources for education practitioners
- Parentzone Scotland ‒ the dedicated information site developed for, and with, parents
- National Qualifications site ‒ providing practitioners with support materials for qualifications.
The websites with sciences and learning for sustainability content have changed as follows:
STEM Central – core content has been migrated to the National Improvement Hub and is live. Visit these pages.
Weather and Climate Change – core content has been migrated to the National Improvement Hub and is live. Visit these pages.
Exploring Climate Change – core content has been migrated to the National Improvement Hub and is live. Visit these pages.

All NQ Higher Sciences content has also now been copied to our Glow Sciences community at http://bit.ly/scienceshome with the videos available on the Sciences Glow video channel.

Sciences pages on Education Scotland’s Corporate site – core content will remain including the sciences EOs, Principles and Practice papers etc but there has been a significant reduction in content in the resources and sharing practice sections. Some content has been migrated to the National Improvement Hub.
Learning for Sustainability pages on Education Scotland’s Corporate site – core content has been migrated to the National Improvement Hub. Visit these pages.
National Assessment Resource – sciences NAR content is no longer available and is being replaced by the Sciences Benchmarks for Assessment which are due for publication soon.
Due to the volume of content being migrated, and some technical issues experienced over the Christmas break, there may be a period of time when some content is not available and some links may not work properly. We appreciate your patience while our Web Team works to resolve these issues.
