Implementation of Pupil Equity Funding at Lundavra Primary

Lundavra Primary in Fort William, opened in 2015, amalgamated from three schools, serves a diverse student population with 15% on free school meals and 19% living in SIMD 2 areas. The implementation process involves identifying gaps through data tracking, analyzing pupil equity data, and addressing attainment disparities in Maths, Reading, and Writing. The school also focuses on attendance, additional support needs, and English as an Additional Language (EAL) to ensure all students receive necessary support.
