News / Foula primary earns good report
ONE OF the most remote schools in Scotland has received a very positive assessment from school inspectors.
Foula primary school and its nursery class have been described as having a “rich and engaging learning environment” in an HMIe report, published on Tuesday.
The two pupils in the school were benefitting from a range of learning activities and “well-planned visits to work alongside peers in other schools”, the inspector said.
Head teacher Janette Cowie was praised for creating a strong partnership between the school and parents, as well as for finding new ways of further improving learning and achievement.
Inspectors said the school needed to get better at teaching literacy, numeracy and health skills, but were confident that no follow up visit was needed.
