Ambition Statement

“Scotland should be the best place to learn. We want each child to enjoy an education that encourages them to be the best they

can be and provides them with a full passport to future opportunity”

To achieve this shared ambition we need:

• Improved educational outcomes for all learners –

Consistently over an agreed period, promoting greater depth and breadth of attainment and achievement and improving the educational outcomes of all our children and young people.

• Equity in educational outcomes –

Consistently over an agreed period, to make progress in eroding the deeply embedded correlation found in the majority of Scottish

schools between a child’s relative point of social deprivation/affluence and their educational attainment.

• Higher public confidence in education.
