Issue - meetings

The Committee resolved:-

(i)         to instruct the Chief Education Officer to continue to support schools to implement improvements in order to address the recommendations made by Education Scotland and the Care Inspectorate; and

(ii)        to otherwise note the contents of the report.

The Committee had before it a report by the Chief Operating Officer which provided oversight of Education Scotland and Care Inspectorate inspection reporting since the last Committee cycle.

Contained in the report were updates on inspections of Hazlehead Academy and Harlaw Academy, as well as Culter Primary School, Kittybrewster Primary School and Gilcomstoun Primary School and Nursery Class.  The report also highlighted anticipated return inspections for Orchard Brae, Dyce Primary, Kingsford Primary and Milltimber Primary Schools, and provided an update on inspections of Early Learning and Childcare.

The report recommended:-

that Committee –

(a)       note the contents of the report; and

(b)       instruct the Chief Education Officer to continue to support schools to implement improvements in order to address the recommendations made by Education Scotland and the Care Inspectorate.

The Committee resolved:-

to approve the recommendations.
