The move, which will be piloted from late next month, will cut the advance warning time from three weeks in secondaries and two weeks in primaries.
Next year Education Scotland will also try out “neighbourhood reviews” to gauge how secondary schools and their cluster of primaries and nurseries are meeting the needs of pupils growing up in a given community. These reviews will also encompass other services including community learning, colleges and careers information.
The focus will shift from how individual schools are performing to pupils’ wider experience in relation to implementation of the Curriculum for Excellence, for example, or attempts to narrow the attainment gap between richer and poorer children.
