8. 8 Attainment key messages CfE levels show increasing confidence however we would expect that the % achieving secure should be around 75% Standardised assessments in literacy show that our schools are underperforming across the ability range. Standardised assessments in mathematics show that our schools are performing well apart from our most able pupils.

9. 9 Attainment - what do we need to do? Track progress of individual learners and groups of learners. Quality assure literacy and numeracy approaches Share practice - similar schools performing better Ensure consistency in universal and targeted approaches in literacy and numeracy.

20. 22 Review of Quality Improvement Significant reductions in budget of 135K in 2012-13 and 385K in 2013-14 No longer able to continue to reduce personnel without having a review of the service Currently 6 Secondary QIOs supporting 23 secondary schools and leading curriculum Currently 3 Primary QIOs supporting 87 primary schools Currently 3 Early Years QIOs supporting 18 Nursery Schools, EY in primary schools and 120+ partner providers. Support for 14 Special Schools also provided.

21. 23 Review of Quality Improvement Reduced from 4 Senior Quality Improvement Officers to 2 and now to 1 - Grace Vickers, Quality Improvement Manager Undertaken initial review exercise with Quality Improvement Team At the same time as we are reviewing our service, schools’ capacity for school improvement based on effective self-evaluation is increasing We need to consider our role against this backdrop.

22. 24 Review of Quality Improvement What we think are ‘MUST DO’s in any future delivery model: Commitment to developing capacity/leadership across the system through CLPL, joint practice, networks, cluster, working and partnership working. Focused and proportionate response to support and challenge which leads to (impact) improved outcomes for all learners. Clarity through strategic plan outlining clear priorities informed by rigorous self evaluation and evidence based approaches. Getting/developing the right leaders with the right skills to create the most effective team.

23. 25 Review of Quality Improvement What we think are ‘Shooting For’ in any future delivery model: Develop an excellent teaching profession in City of Edinburgh Develop highly effective leadership. Further develop school and centre self-evaluation within learning communities

24. 26 Review of Quality Improvement Possible future models of delivery: Important not to rush to models without consideration of our purpose and statutory responsibilities Considerations: –neighbourhood model –sector model –School groups model –HT leading school groups model –Education officer role combining school functional management issues with issues of quality of education
