Rosebank Primary School Core Numeracy Rosebank Primary School

Scotland’s national improvement framework The National Improvement Framework priorities are: • to improve attainment for all, particularly in literacy and numeracy • to improve the learning progress of every child, by reducing inequality in education • to improve children and young people’s health and wellbeing • to improve employability skills and sustained positive school leaver destinations for all young people.

Scotland’s national improvement framework Drawn from international research, six areas for improvement have been identified: Children make progress in their learning, taking ownership of it and understanding their next steps. Parents/carers are involved in their children’s learning and know how to help them. High quality teaching and excellent classroom practice are delivered consistently and teachers know how to help all children make progress. School leadership is strong. Children, parents, teachers, headteachers, local and national government and partners all have a clear understanding of what successful learning and teaching looks like. All participants in education at national, local, school and family level have the same priorities, use the same assessments at key points and share information openly.
