Purpose

The committee is asked to consider and provide
comment to Education & Children's Service regarding the recent
Education Scotland Inspection Report of Anna Ritchie
School

Content

Having noted the Inspection Report and having
heard from the Head Teacher, agreed (1) to congratulate the HT and
staff on the sterling work that they do within the school which is
widely acknowledged throughout the community, and (2) to note that
there are outstanding repairs and maintenance requirements which
contribute towards the challenges already faced on a daily basis
within the school and, whilst acknowledging the Inspection focuses
less on the condition of School buildings, consideration should be
given as to how much these additional challenges contributed
towards the ‘satisfactory’ grade awarded
