HM Inspectors visited the school in May 2000 to evaluate progress made in responding to the main points for action in the report. Overall, very good progress has been made in addressing almost all aspects of the main points for action. HM Inspectors wish to commend the school for the work done to raise standards of attainment. They will make no further visits to the school in connection with the 1998 inspection report. In April 2001, however, they will request a report from you on progress towards addressing the outstanding aspects of recommendation one, on accommodation. 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 Frank Crawford HM Chief Inspector of Schools Western Division
