You will have recently received a text,and then a letter in your child’s school bag about our forthcoming visit from HM Inspectors from Education Scotland . They will be visiting us to conduct an inspection during the week commencing 22nd January.
As part of the inspection, Inspectors gather the views of stakeholders via an online survey which is available from;

https://forms.education.gov.scot/s/GZYOH/

I would be very grateful if you could find 10 minutes of your time to complete the survey, either from the direct link above, or alternatively from the web address in the letter that you can access from your browser.As key stakeholders, your continued support is very much appreciated and we are grateful to you for taking the time to take part in the allocated survey and look forward to your response.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 15th January 2018 for one child or for each of your children in attendance. Children from Primary 4 to Primary 7 have also been asked to share their views, as have our  staff and all of our external partners.

We are looking forward to extending a warm welcome to the Inspection team from Education Scotland to St Bartholomew’s Primary and look forward to their feedback.

I am very happy to report that all  of our pupils have settled back in to school life after the Christmas holidays, and are working hard. It has been lovely to share in their news about all of the exciting experiences that this time of year brings.Well done boys and girls!

Mrs Bolland
