Achievement Project

This report outlines the findings and recommendations from a pilot project carried out between late 2022 and early 2023, by Education Scotland and partners in the Forth Valley and West Lothian (FVWL) Regional Improvement Collaborative area (RIC).  The pilot investigated how young people’s personal achievements, out with the formal curriculum, are currently recognised and recorded across schools and community learning and development (CLD) providers. The aim of this investigation was to identify ways to support practice across schools and CLD providers, so that a wider range of children and young people’s learning and achievements can be recognised, recorded and tracked, throughout their education journey.  View our Achievement project Interim Report here

It has been endorsed by leaders and directors in each of the 4 local authorities alongside being supported by the Regional Improvement Collaborative. The approach has three key elements. These elements should be utilised and incorporated within Clackmannanshire, Falkirk, Stirling and West Lothian when youth voice work is being conducted. Read more
