Dear Dr Young
FOLLOW-UP TO THE INSPECTION OF HEAD OF MUIR PRIMARY SCHOOL,
FALKIRK COUNCIL
The report on Head of Muir Primary School was published in May 1998. HM Inspectors visited the
school in January 2000 to evaluate progress made in responding to the main points for action in the
report.
Overall, very good progress has been made towards overtaking the main points for action, and no
further visits will be made by HM Inspectors in connection with the report of May 1998. You should
note, however, that further work is required to improve the arrangements for planning, assessment,
recording and assessment in the nursery.
I attach an evaluation and brief account of the response made by the school and the education
authority to the main points for action in the report.
I am sending a copy of this letter to parents of children currently in the school and the other
recipients of the inspection report.
Yours sincerely
ARCHIE S McGLYNN
HM Chief Inspector of Schools
Eastern Division
