Radiowaves in Scotland

The vibrant Radiowaves community in Scotland has over 200 schools now creating stories in and out of the classroom which allows them to keep their wider community in tune with what’s happening in their school.

Since 2005 Fife Council and Radiowaves have been working together to help teachers deliver CfE in engaging new ways providing fun, real-life activity based learning for pupils. This long term partnership has been highlighted as outstanding practice by HMIE.

The wide ranging activity happening across Fife has opened many interesting links between the council and industry and created innovative new opportunities for teacher development and pupils’ learning.
