The question
To ask the Scottish Government how many schools in (a) Argyll and Bute, (b) East Dunbartonshire, (c) Renfrewshire and (d) West Dunbartonshire are receiving assistance from the Attainment Fund Scotland, which schools they are and what the value is of the assistance they are receiving.
The answer
Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire are part of the Challenge Authorities programme. This year Renfrewshire has been allocated £1,711,919 and West Dunbartonshire has been allocated £1,850,410 to deliver local improvement plans
- focused on improving literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing
- across their respective primary and secondary schools.
This year funding has also been provided to schools in Argyll and Bute, East Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire from the Attainment Challenge Innovation Fund. Argyll & Bute has also been allocated funding from the Attainment Scotland Fund Schools Programme.
Additionally from next April, schools in Argyll and Bute, East Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire will benefit from funding which will be allocated direct to schools on the basis of the number of children in each primary school and the first three years of secondary school that meet the national eligibility criteria for free school meals. It is likely that the vast majority of publicly funded schools will receive funding.
