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 Tain Royal Academy. Improvements in performance Learners’ experiences Meeting learning needs weak good satisfactory We also evaluated the following aspects of the work of the school. The curriculum Improvement through self-evaluation satisfactory weak A copy of the full letter is available on the Education Scotland website at http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/inspectionandreview/reports/school/primsec/Tai nRoyalAcademyHighland.asp. 1 How good is our school?

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 excellence2, 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.
