PUPILS and staff at a Giffnock school are celebrating following a fantastic report from inspectors which highlighted high levels of attainment and achievement.

The Education Scotland team praised Braidbar Primary and Nursery for a number of key strengths including “enthusiastic, confident and articulate children who are very proud of their school” and who feel “safe, valued and respected".

The report also commended the “strong sense of teamwork and positive relationships across the whole school” and “the very good opportunities that children have across the school to achieve success".

It added: “They develop a wide range of skills through a variety of real-life learning experiences, leadership roles and clubs.”

Two areas of improvement were identified and discussed with the headteacher and a representative from East Renfrewshire Council.

The inspectors said: “Teachers in the school should continue to develop the quality of feedback they provide to children about their learning. This will better help children know what they need to do next to continue to improve. It will better support children to develop personal targets to increase ownership of their learning and progress.”

They added: “Staff in the nursery should continue to improve further the use of a range of information to ensure a coherent overview of children’s progress over time across the curriculum.”

The full report is available on the Education Scotland website.
