Education, Children and Young People Committee

Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 13 November 2024

Douglas Ross

We will come on to all those issues in committee members’ questions.

Does Andrew Bradshaw want to say anything about overall provision at the moment and what the bill could achieve?

Andrew, in your written submission, you said that the estimated primary school allocation of £300 to £400

“is considered too low to deliver high-quality provision that maximises impact.â€

What should the figure be?

You also said in your submission that you acknowledge the challenge of modelling and coming up with such figures. It will be difficult to do that, will it not?

It is not just 50 minutes, though. It involves coaching through the week and speaking to pupils who have an interest in football and getting them involved. That takes several hours, and there will be weekend football matches as well. I do not know any teacher who coaches for just 50 minutes once a week. It is more substantial than that.

You mentioned negative impacts on the current provision. What are they?

It is because they have that interest and want to share it with others and their pupils.

I thank all of you for your evidence today. Andrew Bradshaw said that he would go back and ask his members some of these questions, and it would be very helpful if he could feed any responses back to the committee. Thank you for your previous submissions and the evidence that you have given us today.

I suspend the meeting until 10:45, when we will resume with our second panel.
