Yes, you might still be on your holibags but if you've got a young person at home waiting on their Qualifications Scotland results, make sure you've got 4th to 7th August marked in the diary.

The annual Results Helpline, run by Skills Development Scotland Careers Advisers will be on hand to support young people (as well as parents and carers) to think about options for what to do next.

📚 Inspection evidence shows that children and young people with additional support needs (ASN) benefit most from support including appropriate challenge, effective differentiation and staff who are well equipped to respond to a wide range of needs.

Our new national report highlights the importance of strengthening universal classroom practice across Scotland’s schools to ensure all learners are equipped to achieve their potential.

📚 Our new national report on additional support needs (ASN) in Scotland’s schools from 2024/25 has been published.

The report highlights that strong practice exists, but also that these approaches are not yet consistently embedded across the education system.

Similar patterns are evident across all sectors, meaning learners can experience different levels of support in areas including the quality of learning, teaching and assessment, and in how support is planned, delivered and evaluated.

Ensuring greater consistency will be key to making sure every learner receives high-quality support.
