Delighted to contribute to the #CostoftheSchoolDay event @BraesHigh, an inspiring example of what can happen when young people take the lead on equity in schools. Shows the impact that a poverty aware school culture and clear focus on reducing costs and increasing incomes has.
Education Secretary @JennyGilruth has been hearing about the vital help provided to families through @ScotGov Pupil Equity Funding (PEF) during a visit to @BraesHigh in Falkirk. #ChallengePovertyWeek
