Very informative and encouraging update from @olliebray and Andy Creamer from @EducationScot about the Curriculum Improvement Cycle progress in the final session of the @ADEScotland conference. #ADES25

Day two of the @ADEScotland conference begins with a panel discussion with @sqanews, @EducationScot, @hmiescotland and the Centre for Teaching Excellence. Yesterday’s threads about ‘much reform but little change’ is an important context as we hear from these agencies. #ADES2025

Thought-provoking input for us all at the @ADEScotland conference from Prof. @AlmaHarris1. Challenging and strengthening our system leadership and collaboration approaches and leading with moral purpose. “Don’t just stay the course, steer the course!” #ADES25

Cabinet Secretary @JennyGilruth gave a wide-ranging keynote address to @ADEScotland conference covering Education Act, SAC, budgets, reform, the IPA, the CTE and more. Important recognition of the many strengths, successes and achievements of Scottish education. #ADES25

Our President, @laurencefindlay opening the annual conference with personal reflections that frame our focus on leading together across the system and shaping the future of education. #ADES25

Looking forward to the @ADEScotland annual conference getting under way today. Leading together, shaping the future. #ADES25

The Curriculum Improvement Cycle is a systematic review of the Scottish curriculum to ensure it remains up to date & relevant for children & young people. Check out this short video for a refresher & look out for lots more updates this year! #BackToSchool

Best of luck to the @SYPrimary team representing @cne_siar at the @scottishcilt #EuroQuiz final in Edinburgh today. Do your best boys! It’s been a pleasure to be able to accompany them on their trip!

Great to see recognition of the excellent work of @the_nicolson and the team on developing an effective approach to tackling attendance issues, especially the particular challenge of pupils that attend but don’t go to class. Well done to everyone involved.
