Standards and Quality Report September 2024
Breakfast Club
Great New for Fairview
The school has secured funding from Greggs to trial a breakfast club. Due to the geography of our pupils this will run when the pupils first arrive at school at 9am for those who would benefit from this. There can be many reasons why a young person isn’t managing breakfast at home so if you think that your child would benefit from having breakfast when they arrive at school (options will be toast, cereals, fruit and juice/milk) please email fairview@pkc.gov.uk to be allocated a space on this trial which will run from the week beginning the 19th of September.

DUTY OF CANDOUR REPORT-2024
All health and social care services in Scotland have a Duty of Candour. This is a legal requirement which means that when things go wrong and mistakes happen, the people affected understand what has happened, receive an apology, and that organisations learn how to improve for the future.
An important part of this duty is that we provide an annual report about the Duty of Candour in our services. This short report describes how our care service has operated the duty of candour during the time between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024. We hope you find this report useful.
Self-Evaluation for session 2023-24
What is a Self-Evaluation Report?
Key Components of School Self-Evaluation in PKC
-
Internal Self-Evaluation:Schools conduct their own evaluations using national frameworks, often focused on specific areas like health and wellbeing or learning, teaching, and assessment.
-
External Validation:The process is supported by external scrutiny from the Perth and Kinross Council’s Quality Improvement Officers (QIOs) who review self-evaluations and highlight areas for improvement.
-
Stakeholder Engagement:Self-evaluation involves gathering views from various stakeholders, including:
- Pupils: Through surveys, focus groups, and direct dialogue.
- Parents: Via the Parent Council, surveys, and individual conversations.
- Pupils: Through surveys, focus groups, and direct dialogue.
-
Data Analysis:Schools and the local authority analyze data on attendance, achievement, and attainment to identify areas where performance can be improved.
-
Improvement Planning:The findings from self-evaluation directly inform the development of school improvement plans to ensure continuous progress against local and national priorities.
-
Focus on Quality Assurance:This structured process of evaluation, data analysis, and professional discussion is a key part of the local authority’s broader quality assurance framework.
