Attainment Challenge

The Scottish Attainment Challenge is about achieving equity in educational outcomes, with a particular focus on closing the poverty-related attainment gap. Equity can be achieved by ensuring every child has the same opportunity to succeed.

The First Minister launched the Scottish Attainment Challenge in February 2015 to bring a greater sense of urgency and priority to this issue. It is underpinned by the Framework Curriculum for Excellence, National Improvement and Getting It Right for Every Child.

The Scottish Governments ambition is for Scotland to be the best place to grow up.

The Scottish Attainment Challenge will focus and accelerate targeted improvement activity in literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing in specific areas of Scotland. It will also support and complement the broader range of initiatives and programmes to ensure that all of Scotland’s children and young people reach their full potential.

The Scottish Government’s ambition is for Scotland to be the best place to grow up. To achieve that we need to raise attainment and reduce educational inequity for all of Scotland’s children and young people. Attainment is the measurable progress which children and young people make as they advance through and beyond school, and the development of the range of skills, knowledge and attributes needed to success in learning life and work.

Attainment Challenge in South Ayrshire

As part of the Scottish Government initiative to close the attainment gap South Ayrshire Council chose three schools which they felt would benefit most from this initiative. The three schools chosen were Braehead Primary, Dalmilling Primary and Newton Primary. As part of this funding all three schools had an Active Schools Assistant who worked solely in the school to assist the Active Schools Coordinator in providing more sporting opportunities for children.
