The money set to address ‘the attainment gap’ is a joke. My son is one of the ‘recipients’ of Pupil Equity Funds. Both his schools have received £1200 a year for his six years in education to support his learning. I have no evidence any special support was offered to him. He kept being passed
over as ‘on track’ despite my protestations. Finally
Got him independently assessed in P5. Was found to have a P2 level of reading and writing (!) - my sister pays for him to have a private tutor weekly which has completely turned things around. This is what the school should have been doing. His old
school spent loads of time on poster campaigns for social justice issues and yet he could not read or write properly.
