The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-24630 by Keith Brown on 22 June 2009, how it plans to encourage twinning activities between denominational and non-denominational schools in the 2009-10 academic year.

The answer

Answered by Keith Brown on 20 Jul 2009 · 27 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Government document Building Friendships and Strengthening Communities : A Guide to Twinning between denominational and non-denominational schools is available to all schools and local authorities at:
http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/Doc/159545/0043404.pdf or in hard copy upon request.
Examples of good practice in twinning are shared through the anti-sectarian website Don''t Give It, Don''t Take It and we are currently in discussions with Learning and Teaching Scotland about refreshing this resource to ensure that the positive outcomes of anti-sectarian activity are clearly linked to Curriculum for Excellence http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/antisectarian/index.asp.
