Lots of interest from schools for sessions following the September 2025 Update. If you anticipate requesting an advisor session please contact me sooner rather than later. Already booked up well into October. Request a support session here: forms.office.com/pages/response… Thanks
Tuesday saw a ASN session with Culloden, then a focus on National data with SLT @ThursoHigh Thanks all. Lewis 👍
Really positive start to the week with very varied & interesting sessions. Monday, it was great to spend time with SLT @WoodfarmHigh looking at ways to raise already strong attainment
Great to see the @SCQFPartnership team today. Always a pleasure to work alongside them in supporting schools.

What a super two days! Really enjoyed working with @smithycroft282 SLT yesterday, followed with a great chat with SLT @stbenedictsren on leavers attainment. Today it was a wonderful to present to all @FifeCouncil HTs on “what really makes a difference” Thanks all, Lewis 👍
@DrLeeCoutts Superb. Looking forward to it Lee. Hope you are settling in well to the new role?
February Update is just out the door and I’m already getting requests for sessions following the September 2025 Update! If you anticipate wanting a session please get in touch via this request form: padlet.com/lewispaterson/… Info on sessions here: padlet.com/lewispaterson/…
Huge thanks to the middle and senior leadership @TRAofficial for the opportunity to work with them this morning. Really enjoyed the session. And great to do a short input on Literacy & Numeracy measures with @TrinityAc_Edin this afternoon. Thanks all. Lewis 👍
Great double-header today! This morning was a fab Destinations and Leavers attainment discussion with the SLT @castlemilk_high. This afternoon I really enjoyed my time with the SLT (and Maths PT) @CullodenAcad . Thank all for a great day! Lewis 👍
With the February Update released last week it’s great to have a diary full of sessions planned for the coming weeks. Today’s with the SLT @InverurieAcad was really enjoyable. Lots of great discussion and questioning around attainment. Thank you Neil for the invite. Lewis 👍
@JillPringle_Edu Thanks Jill!
I am going to trial a new resource available through our Padlet. It’s a document of “recently asked questions”. I’m hopeful you’ll find value in these as they may help you answer questions you have. I’ll add to it as questions come in. padlet.com/lewispaterson/…
It’s always fab to work with leadership team @rosshigh . Great conversations, lots of challenge and a real desire to continue to improve outcomes for their learners! Thanks Paul for having me in! Lewis 👍
Great session with SLT and the @SCQFPartnership staff ambassadors from @KingsParkSec today. Loved the deep dive into the new data. Thanks for having me and for @Donnie_scqf and @kamila_scqf for joining also! Lewis 👍
*23/24 leavers cohort (oops! Sorry for typo!)
The February Update is live. A reminder that this update shows attainment at the point of exit for the 22/24 leavers cohort as well as their destinations. If you need support in interpreting the update please look to our resources at insight-guides.scotxed.net.
