Quality indicators help schools, education authorities and inspectors to judge what is good and
what needs to be improved in the work of the school. You can find these quality indicators in the
publication How good is our school? 2 . Following the inspection of each school, the Scottish
Government gathers evaluations of three important quality indicators to keep track of how well all
Scottish schools are doing.
Here are the evaluations for Sacred Heart RC Primary School, Grangemouth.

A sample of parents, children and young people, and all members of staff were invited to give their views of the school using a pre-inspection questionnaire. Their views informed the inspection process, including the nature of discussions in a number of
meetings. Strengths and issues identified were explored by the inspection team, and the findings are included in the inspection report. The following information gives the statistical detail from those that returned questionnaires.
