Transforming Learning: Carnegie Primary School

Fife Council has reached a major milestone in its flagship Transforming Learning programme - and is reflecting on its incredible success so far. One of the largest and most ambitious IT projects ever undertaken in the region, Transforming Learning’s initial phase was to see P6-S6 pupils across Fife issued with an iPad to support the council’s commitment to closing the digital divide and ensuring every learner has access to the tools and support they need to succeed. Following a huge amount of planning, deployment began with staff in May 2025 with a dedicated Transforming Learning team supporting upskilling and preparation, followed by the learner rollout from August 2025. And, by the end of next week, the deployment team will have visited all 155 schools in Fife, with nearly 30,000 young people now using iPads as part of their daily routines. The project has progressed so efficiently that the council is now accelerating plans to issue iPads to the current P5 cohort during Term 4, ensuring they begin P6 with devices already in place. Carnegie Primary School in Dunfermline was the final primary school checked off the list on Friday, March 13.
