As part of our ongoing commitment to developing partnerships and easing transitions for pupils, we recently hosted a visit by Steve Bell, an Educational Consultant with Storyline Scotland. He presented an overview of Storyline, an alternative teaching approach that encourages study in the context of a strong narrative. This informal twilight session was well attended by staff of Alford Academy and Alford Primary. Mr Bell led a discussion that challenged and enlightened. Many who attended felt that there was some potential in this approach and we now plan to explore Storyline as a possible additional teaching strategy. Steve Bell’s visit was facilitated through the SpeyGrian Trust: www.speygrian.org.uk
