Glowing report for Carronshore Primary from inspectors
27 August-
Carronshore Primary School has received a glowing report from inspectors
Staff, pupils and helpers at Carronshore Primary School have been praised by HMIe inspectors - who gave the school a glowing report following their visit to the primary earlier this year.
Confident, happy and motivated children and an improving trend in attainment in writing have been highlighted as strengths during a recent inspection by HMIe.
The Inspectors visited the school earlier this year and found that the Carronshore Primary School and Nursery Class were consistently 'very good' and 'good' across all eight areas of learning and teaching.
Inspectors found the school has a number of key strengths including children's high quality artwork, displayed throughout the school, and teamwork amongst all staff in taking forward school improvements.
In the primary classes, overall attainment is very good with high standards, most children achieve appropriate levels in mathematics and nearly all children achieve appropriate levels in reading, writing, listening and talking - though many are achieving higher levels of attainment in many subjects.
There was also praise for local community involvement in supporting the school including Parents are Carronshore Together, the Parent Council and families. A group of 'granny helpers' also help out in the school every week!
According to HMIe 'the school is well placed to build on its strengths and continue to improve learning and achievement for all.
The inspection was carried out in June 2010 at which time the roll was 353, including 82 in the nursery school.
