• 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.

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 through continuous improvement of Scotland’s education system.
To achieve this shared ambition we need:

“To ensure that 85% of children within each school cluster have successfully experienced
and achieved CfE Second Level Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Wellbeing
outcomes in preparation for Secondary School by 2016”
The 2012 survey of literacy showed that 82% of children in P7 from areas of most deprivation were performing well or very well in reading; and the 2013 survey of numeracy showed 53% of children in P7 from similar circumstances were performing well or very well.

The six questions to be asked of EVERY change programme…
1AimIs there an agreed aim that is understood by everyone in the system?
2Correct changesAre we using our full knowledge to identify the right changes & prioritising those that are likely to have the biggest impact on our aim?
3Clear change methodDoes everyone know and understand the method(s) we will use to improve?
4MeasurementCan we measure and report progress on our improvement aim?
5Capacity and capabilityAre people and other resources deployed and being developed in the best way to enable improvement?
6Spread planHave we set out our plans for innovating, testing, implementing and sharing new learning to spread the improvement everywhere?

Why coaching?Formative assessment, of which effective feedback is a key feature, has been a major focus in Scottish schools for a number of years, primarily as a result of the work of Paul Black and Dylan William in the late nineties.
Research on formative assessment over the past decade tells us that quality, focused feedback has
a very high impact (potentially +9 months advantage over the course of a school year for an
‘average’ pupil) for little, if any, financial investment.*
Learning Support for individual children and small groups of pupils requires a major investment of both money and personnel. Current financial constraints are making it increasingly difficult for schools to offer this type of additional teaching input to pupils. Alternative solutions need to be found.

If quality feedback within the classroom setting has such a major impact on
pupils’ progress, what would be the impact of a weekly one-to-
one coaching session (focusing on feedback and target-setting) on
the progress of an individual pupil?
The idea for coaching arose from a simple question:
Definitely worth investigating!

I feel more confident.I’m not struggling with my writing so much in class and I don’t need to ask for so much help.My work used to scare me. Now it doesn’t worry me so much.I like focusing on just one target each week.I like going down to Mr Young’s office for my coaching.Traffic lighting my targets makes me feel I’m improving.I’m finding my coaching sessions more helpful than the learning support I get. I think it’s making a bigger difference to my classwork.I’m even starting to help others in the class with their work.

• The school’s two Principal Teachers have been trained in the coaching technique.
• Coaching has been extended to Primary 4 pupils across the cluster identified as ‘causing concern’ in writing.
• Systems are now in place to track attainment and measure the progress of all pupils across the school to ensure coaching is targeted at those pupils who need it most and safeguard any pupils from slipping through the net:
