28 August 2018 Woodlands Primary School and Nursery Class Inspection Report<\/a><\/p>\n Summarised Inspection Findings for Woodlands Primary School and Nursery Class<\/a><\/p>\n
\nDear Parent\/Carer
\nIn June 2018, a team of inspectors from Education Scotland visited Woodlands Primary School
\nand Nursery Class. During our visit, we talked to parents\/carers and children and worked
\nclosely with the headteacher and staff. We gathered evidence to enable us to evaluate aspects
\nof the quality of leadership and children\u2019s achievements.
\nThe inspection team found the following strengths in the school\u2019s work.
\n\uf0b7 Staff have created a nurturing, inclusive learning environment, where children are
\ndeveloping resilience for learning, and attaining and achieving very successfully. The highly
\neffective leadership team, led by the headteacher have a clear vision for the school and
\ngive well-defined direction to staff. They involve stakeholders in the life and work of the
\nschool.
\n\uf0b7 Children are confident, successful learners. They are motivated to do well, and are very
\nenthusiastic about their learning. They are very articulate, respectful and contribute well to
\nthe life and work of the school.
\n\uf0b7 Staff work together very well to implement whole school approaches to self-evaluation.
\nThey track children\u2019s progress effectively, and identify priorities for improvement which lead
\nto improved outcomes for all children.
\n\uf0b7 Staff have taken forward well-planned improvements for learning, teaching and assessment
\nto raise attainment in numeracy and mathematics across the school. Sector leading
\napproaches to embedding a numeracy-rich environment for learning, which is leading to
\nexcellent progress in early mathematics for almost all children in the nursery class.
\nThe following area for improvement was identified and discussed with the headteacher and a
\n<\/span>representative from Angus Council.
\n\uf0b7 As planned staff should develop further approaches for learning, teaching and assessment
\nfor literacy, with the same rigor they brought to improving numeracy and mathematics.<\/p>\n
