The last time Cathedral was inspected was way back in 2009 and it is highly likely a team of His
Majesty’s Inspectors of Education (HMIe) will visit the school and nursery in the very near future.
Regular self-evaluation, using the Education Scotland document How good is our school? 4, is integral to ongoing improvement here in Cathedral and this means we know our school (our strengths and next steps) exceptionally well. During the upcoming inspection, Cathedral Primary will be inspected on four main quality indicators from How good is our school? 4:
1.3 Leadership of change
2.3 Learning, teaching and assessment
3.1 Ensuring wellbeing, equality and inclusion
3.2 Raising attainment and achievement
Inspectors will also look at child protection and safeguarding (2.1), Cathedral’s curriculum (2.2) and the way we work in partnership with parents to support our pupils’ learning and development (2.7). Cathedral has chosen 2.4 Personalised support as the additional quality indicator we’d like HMIe to look at during the inspection.
Cathedral Primary has developed pictorial overviews which summarise our school community’s self-evaluation against each of the above quality indicators. These accessible documents mean that everyone involved in the life and work of our school – staff, parents/carers, our partners and even our learners – have a clear understanding of how good Cathedral Primary School is.
