Welcome back to all the teachers and pupils across Argyll and Bute. We hope you had a wonderful summer and you’re all set for 2017-2018.

We have several areas of focus for this year. We’d really like to focus on primary 1 literacy acquisition with the continuation of our primary 1 literacy pilot – even if you’re not involved you can access all the guidance and resources under the P1 pilot project tab. In secondaries some schools are taking on the Fresh Start initiative to work with pupils who need some support in reading. We’re also further supporting and driving forward literacy across learning in all our secondary schools. We’d also like to look at writing within primary schools and how we can best support teachers and learners in building skills and confidence.

Remember, all resources on this site are available for staff, parents and pupils to look at and use. Have an explore and see whether there’s something that is useful for you.
