As 2025 marks the halfway point to keeping the promise, we are sharing stories of change in action from across the country to reflect on positive changes and highlight learning that can be carried forward as Scotland continues to work to #KeepThePromise by 2030. (🧵1/2)
ALT Graphic of a map of Scotland with three arrows pointing toward a promise heart suggesting change. Text above is a quote from Victoria McCabe, Deputy Head Teacher at Neilston Primary School which reads “Lived experience helps people connect on a deeper level, sparking empathy and reminding us why being trauma-informed is so important. It encouraged us to be even more intentional about supporting children with care experience.”
Our children continue to share their learning about the nurture principles and what they mean for them. Click below to see P1-3s latest video ‘The Classroom Offers a Safe Base’ @nurtureuktweetscanva.com/design/DAGgH2_mNAk…
We may not be able to change the whole world, but our small acts of kindness still make a big difference 💕

Transitions are significant in children's lives 🌱 🧠
I can’t wait for our children to share their learning about the next Nurture Principle next month 👀 💞
Our P1-3 children have been working hard to make sure that everyone in our school community understands the importance of the Nurture Principles in creating an environment where everyone thrives! Have a look at P1s video about the importance of transitions 💞 @nurtureuktweets
A massive thank you to @BrysonAnalysis for supporting the delivery of the Promise to our staff team today! We continue to build our capacity for genuine empathy and understanding through hearing the voice of lived experience #love#care#onegoodadult@ThePromiseScot
Absolutely buzzing with the email today from @neilston_madras! I can’t wait for the catch up @Mr_G_Curle @MrsMcCabe4
What a way to inspire young minds and break down barriers and remove stigma @ThePromiseScot
This is how it should be done 👍🏽
A wonderful opportunity to join a team of truly committed teachers and practitioners in our brand new (opened on 19th March) facility. @neilston_madras caters for learners from the age of 2 - 11. Please, click the link to find out more. myjobscotland.gov.uk/council…
It has taken two school closure days and a massive commitment from our SLT giving up their weekend. Our friends and colleagues in Facilities Management have bust a gut! Our Neilston-Madras team have played an absolute blinder! But we are ready and can’t wait to welcome all of our children to our fantastic new building! @EastRenCouncil 🤩🥰🤗
A glimmer of light in an all consuming week. It’s not everyday you get to connect with THE teacher. You know, the one that comes to mind when you are asked to remember a teacher that made a difference @killochglen
