Report by Mr Chris Shirley, Quality Standards Manager

The Area Committee considered a report from Mr Chris Shirley, Quality Standards Manager, outlining proposals for primary school reporting.

Decision:

The Area Committee approved the proposals for primary school reporting as being the appropriate mechanism for the reporting of the achievements of primary schools, ensuring the same reporting format is adopted across the four Council areas:

a)      Education Scotland (HMIE) reports on individual schools to be presented to the relevant area committee by the Head Teacher following the report’s publication;

b)      The Quality Improvement Officer(s) for the schools in each area attends the area committee on an annual basis to provide a brief update on issues pertaining to the schools in the area, e.g. awards, new appointments or major curriculum developments; and

c)      The Quality Improvement Officer(s) attends the Local Area Community Planning Group on an annual basis to present the Education Service’s Standards and Quality Report, outlining any local issues.
