Tullos School

Overview

Education Scotland inspectors visited Tullos Primary School and Nursery Class in June 2024. The report highlights significant strengths in the nursery provision but identifies that the primary school requires additional support and time to make necessary improvements, with a further inspection planned within one year.

Strengths

• Staff have a "clear understanding of the social, cultural and economic context," which helps build positive relationships to support learning.
• There is a "strong focus among staff on emotional wellbeing," helping most children manage their emotions to engage effectively.
• Nursery staff provide "well organised environments with rich learning experiences" that motivate and engage children.

Areas to improve

• Teachers must improve the quality of learners’ experiences by planning more "enjoyable, challenging and relevant learning experiences."
• Leaders and teachers need to ensure strategies for positive relationships and behaviour are applied consistently and improve attendance.
• Staff should quickly identify individual needs and raise attainment in literacy and numeracy, while developing approaches to track progress and evaluate interventions more effectively.
