How we can change the narrative around Scottish education | Tes tes.com/magazine/analysis/ge…

Scottish education isn’t a fairytale - but it’s not a horror story either

There’s a worrying narrative around teaching in Scotland, writes headteacher Gail Preston, and we need to respond by emphasising the positives of the profession

Why has Scotland struggled to detach itself from ‘high-stakes, end-point exams’? Headteacher Gail Preston says a new approach is needed to assess schools and students more fairly tes.com/magazine/analysis/se…

We need more creative ways to judge Scotland’s schools

There is an ‘uncomfortable duality’ in an education system that champions social justice but relies on assessment that is ‘wholly inappropriate’ for many young people, says head Gail Preston

I had the joy of being offered one of these at the end of the day- and it was still warm 😋 Very grateful to a very kind pupil!

If you ruled Scotland, what would you change? That’s the question we’re posing to school pupils around the country. The ‘If I Ruled Scotland’ competition invites primary and secondary pupils to share their vision for the nation’s future, in any form they choose.
