As a fresh new set of challenges approach - along with recurring issues for schools, their boards, their staff, pupils Professor Anton Colella and families – I am confident that SCIS possesses the Chairman energy and expertise to serve the sector as best it can. In doing so, we will also ensure that the sector’s place at the historic heart of Scottish education is never far from the minds of others.

Pupil Numbers Comparable figures for International Baccalaureate, A Level and GCSE results are not currently available due to continuing difficulties with accessing results data from the relevant examination bodies. At the start of each new academic year SCIS conducts a census to gather data from member schools, which provides an overview of the sector. The analysis of this data is made available to member schools, the public and the press. Facts and statistics about pupil numbers and demographic projections can be downloaded from the SCIS website. As at September 2012 there were 31,146 pupils in SCIS schools. Of these, 1,722 were children in nurseries, 10,805 were in primary schools and 18,619 were in secondary schools. Pupil numbers in the independent sector have been remarkably resilient: 2013 saw a fractional fall of 0.7%. Financial Assistance All member schools offer financial assistance, most commonly in the form of means-tested awards, granted on the basis of financial need. The level of financial assistance can vary considerably from a free place (where 100% of the fees are met by the school) to awards worth around 10% of the fees. Since 2009, the number of pupils on fully funded places has increased by over 60%. The proportion of all SCIS pupils who receive means tested support has increased by nearly one third over the same period. 05 | ANNUAL REVIEW 2013 scis.org.uk | Choice | Diversity | Excellence SCIS SCHOOL STATISTICS Examination Results SCIS provides analysis of pupil numbers, fees, staffing levels, examination results, leaver destinations and the financial Although most pupils in the independent sector sit SQA examinations, a significant number are presented for GCSE, A Levels assistance provided by independent schools – as well as ad hoc research work requested by the Governing Board of SCIS and and the International Baccalaureate.

Wisconsin Standards for English Language Arts ii Foreword On May 27, 2020, I formally adopted the Wisconsin Standards for English Language Arts. This revised set of academic standards provides a foundational framework identifying what knowledge and skills Wisconsin students in English language arts should learn at different grade levels or bands of grades. The adoption of this revised set of standards was part of a concerted effort led by Wisconsin educators and stakeholders who shared their expertise in English language arts and teaching from kindergarten through higher education. Feedback was provided by the public and the Wisconsin State Legislature for the writing committee to consider as part of Wisconsin’s Academic Standards review and revision process. English language arts is an essential part of a comprehensive PK-12 education for all students. Through English language arts, Wisconsin students learn to use literacy to understand and improve themselves and their worlds.
  • National Qualifications: a Short History

    National Qualifications: a Short History

    National Qualifications: a short history This report was produced by James McVittie in October 2008. During the preparations for a recent consultation on qualification design at SCQF levels 4–5, many of the issues that came up had been considered, discussed, and even consulted on in the past. Given the changes that are afoot, and developments that are being discussed, now seems to be the right moment to document this history. This brief paper summarises the reviews over the last 30 years of the national school qualifications in Scotland, and identifies issues that have been raised in successive reforms and the extent to which they have been resolved. 1 1 Reports and development programmes 1.1 Munn and Dunning (1977) The Munn and Dunning reports were commissioned to address weaknesses in the provision of courses and qualifications to meet the needs of the full ability range, and to ensure appropriate progression to Higher Grade. Concerns included the fact that a substantial minority of school leavers held no nationally-recognised certificate recording their achievements in school, and that the Ordinary Grade examination was insufficiently challenging for the most able students. Moreover, these students were then expected to complete the much more demanding Higher course in only two terms ― the notorious ‘two-term dash’. Both reports were published in 1977. The Munn Committee reported on the curriculum and recommended: ♦ a restructuring of the curriculum in S3 and S4 to meet the needs of students of all abilities ♦ the introduction of approaches
