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. Quality indicators for the nursery class can be found in the publication Child at the Centre2. 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 Comely Park Primary School. Improvements in performance Learners’ experiences Meeting learning needs very good very good very good Nursery class Improvements in performance Children’s experiences Meeting learning needs very good very good very good We also evaluated the following aspects of the work of the school and nursery class.
