The first Primary 7 pupils in Fife have been awarded the new Fife Diploma of Achievement (FDA).
The special presentation of the awards marks a significant step in recognising skills, strengths and achievements of local young people, alongside traditional school qualifications.
The awards were presented at Glenrothes High School to 140 pupils from Caskieberran, Pitcoudie, Rimbleton, and South Parks primary schools.
Glenrothes High School and its feeder primary schools have been amongst the first schools to deliver the FDA. The diploma has been piloted over 2025/26 across 20 Fife primary schools and five secondary schools, and there are plans to expand further in 2026/27.
The Fife Diploma of Achievement is a new local award that recognises the full breadth of young people’s learning and experiences – in school, at home and in their communities. It is not an exam‑based qualification and does not replace National Qualifications or Highers, but sits alongside them to give a fuller picture of each learner.
The diploma recognises achievement across four key pillars – leadership, enterprise, volunteering and work experience.
The award links closely with wider work to tailor learning to pupils’ interests, strengths and future ambitions. This includes practical learning, leadership opportunities, wellbeing and mental health learning, enterprise activity and preparation for college, apprenticeships, employment or university.
