Education Scotland – HM Inspection

Dear Families,

HM Inspectors from Education Scotland will be visiting our school to conduct an inspection during the week commencing the 12^th of December 2022. You can find out more about inspection, from the Inspection and review documentation pages of Education Scotland’s website –

https://education.gov.scot/education-scotland/what-we-do/inspection-and-review

As part of the inspection, Inspectors gather the views of stakeholders via an online survey. This survey has been sent to all families via Groupcall and letter for those who have not provided an email.

I would like to encourage you to complete the survey. Inspectors will also be meeting with groups of parents during the inspection so to be part of that discussion you should complete the survey with additional links provided to indicate your interest in taking part.

You should complete the survey by Friday the 2^nd of December 2022 for one child or for each of your children in attendance.

Thank you in advance for your continued support.

Yours

Miss L Davidson

Acting Head Teacher
