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?1. 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 Trinity Academy. Improvements in performance Learners’ experiences Meeting learning needs weak good good We also evaluated the following aspects of the work of the school.

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.

It helps inspectors and schools to understand how successful young people are in SQA qualifications compared to young people nationally and to those in other schools which serve young people with similar needs and backgrounds1. However, this is only one aspect of young people’s achievement, and it is only by blending these results with a wide range of other information, including achievement in the four capacities of curriculum for excellence 2, the quality of learning in lessons and other activities, the impact of the curriculum, and the extent to which learning needs are being met, that a well-informed evaluation of achievement can be made. You can find this evaluation of young people’s overall achievement in the report on the school, published on this website.
