Dear Colleague
SCHOOLS OF AMBITION RESEARCH REPORT
Please find enclosed the Schools of Ambition Annual Research Report for 2009. Schools of Ambition (SofA) aims to promote transformational change in secondary schools. The report provides an informative insight into the progress of Schools of Ambition programme schools from the perspective of practitioners themselves.
We hope that sharing the experiences of some of the other Schools of Ambition can help you in the process of improving the educational outcomes and experiences of young people.
Although very readable the report is quite lengthy and I would like to draw your attention to the introductory Executive Summary and the attached one page summary. If you would like to discuss the report further please contact Deirdre Kelly, Schools of Ambition research co-ordinator at Deirdre.Kelly@scotland.gsi.gov.uk or telephone 07544 568830. If you have any questions on Schools of Ambition policy please contact John Bissett (Programme Manager) at John.Bissett@scotland.gsi.gov.uk or telephone 0131 244 0790.
Yours sincerely
CHRIS REILLY
Policy Adviser
