What Education Scotland said about Westpark School
Overview
The inspection team found that children are friendly, polite, and keen to learn, supported by a wide range of clubs that build confidence. However, the report evaluates key quality indicators for both the primary school and nursery class as “weak,” indicating significant concerns regarding learning, teaching, and assessment. Consequently, the school requires additional support and a further inspection within one year to ensure necessary improvements are made.
Strengths
- Children are described as “friendly and show kindness to each other,” being polite and eager to learn.
- A “wide range of clubs” provides opportunities for children to enjoy sports and games, supporting confidence and new challenges.
Areas to improve
- Staff must develop approaches to gathering information from observations or assessments and use this data more effectively to help children build on existing skills.
- All staff and senior leaders should deliver “consistently high quality learning and teaching” with increased pace, challenge, and a clear focus on progress.
- Senior leaders and teachers need to ensure that regular checks of progress lead to tangible improvements in attainment.
