That the Parliament sends its congratulations to Scotstoun Primary School, in the Glasgow Anniesland constituency, for a fantastic Education Scotland inspection report; understands that the education team spoke with parents, carers and children, and also worked closely with the headteacher and her staff, where it found strengths in the school’s work, highly effective leadership at all levels, and teachers and support staff who use their professional knowledge and skills very well to ensure positive outcomes for all children; further understands that the children articulated well the positive differences that they are making in their school and beyond into their community; understands there is high-quality community and partnership working and a strong sense of belonging within the school; recognises the effective use of digital technologies and high-quality play, along with the STEM and enquiry-based experiences; acknowledges the all-round enhancing of the children’s skills, along with the significant wellbeing support and nurturing available for children through times of transition, allowing them to feel safe, secure and confident; considers that these approaches are both raising attainment and closing the learning gaps, and commends everyone involved, from the staff to the children and their parents, on this achievement.
