Welcome to Ashpark Primary School

Healthy, Hardworking, Caring and Kind

HMIE Inspection Report

In January 2024, a team of inspectors from Education Scotland visited Ashpark Primary
School. During our visit, we talked to parents/carers and children and worked closely with
the headteacher and staff.

The inspection team found the following strengths in the school’s work:

Teaching Learning and Assessment – Very Good

Raising Attainment and Achievement – Very Good

• Staff, children and families benefit from positive, supportive and respectful relationships that
help children feel safe, happy and valued as part of the Ashpark family.
• Led very ably by the headteacher and depute headteacher, there is a strong culture of
nurture and inclusion across the school. As a result, children take responsibility for their
learning, contributing maturely and articulately during learning experiences.
• The highly-skilled staff team have developed consistent approaches to learning and
teaching. As a result, children engage very well with school and experience high-quality
learning that meets their needs.
• Staff use highly aspirational strategies and approaches to raise attainment. This ensures
almost all children make very strong progress over time.
• Senior leaders use information and data very effectively to monitor children’s progress and
evaluate the impact of interventions and supports. This helps staff review and adapt
approaches to meet children’s needs.

The following area for improvement was identified and discussed with the headteacher and a
representative from Glasgow City Council.

• As planned, senior leaders should develop more regular opportunities for teachers to
engage with colleagues beyond their locality. This should continue to deepen teachers’
understanding of standards, particularly within children’s writing.
