Education Scotland practice exemplars
Education Scotland have compiled school case studies documenting initiatives supporting children from Armed Forces families which were presented at a Good Practice Event in May 2019.
Interventions most frequently cited as having a positive impact on the wellbeing and educational progress of Armed Forces children were:
- developing good home-school links - supportive relationships with families;
- developing whole school and classroom nurturing approaches;
- use of Play Therapy, Mindfulness, and resources/programmes to support pupils who experience loss, change or separation;
- creating a responsive curriculum, tailoring timetables and offering enhanced transition supports;
- using targeted literacy and numeracy programmes to accelerate progress;
- offering 'whole family' support including supporting the wellbeing of parents.
