The question

To ask the Scottish Government what plans it has to extend the Attainment Scotland Fund beyond the local authorities that have already been announced.

The answer

Answered by Angela Constance on 18 Aug 2015 · 1 day after it was lodged, on time

I am pleased to announce that we are expanding the Attainment Scotland fund to include an additional 57 primary schools across 14 local authority areas. Each of these 57 primary schools will receive funding from the Attainment Scotland fund. The schools have been selected on the basis that they are supporting a significant proportion of pupils and families from communities which are facing some of the greatest challenges across Scotland. Many of these schools are already doing well for all of their pupils and we want to learn from and spread this practice. These schools will work closely with their attainment advisors and each other to implement, support and spread good practice of what works to raise attainment, ambition and aspirations for our children and young people.
