During our visit, we talked to parents/carers and children and worked closely with the acting headteacher and staff. The inspection team found the following strengths in the school’s work. • The acting headteacher has managed a period of transition effectively. In doing so, she has maintained a strong focus on improving children’s progress and wellbeing • In the nursery, practitioners have created positive, welcoming relationships with children and families. Parents benefit from a range of family learning opportunities. This deepens their understanding of how they can support their children at home. • In the school and intensive support provision (ISP), senior leaders and staff work well together. They have strong partnerships with partners and professionals which provide children with a range of rewarding experiences. These have a significant and positive impact on children’s wellbeing. • Children make very good progress in listening and talking as they move through the school. They develop strong communication skills and use these well across all aspects of their learning. The following areas for improvement were identified and discussed with the headteacher and a representative from Perth and Kinross Council. • Develop more effective approaches to monitor the quality of the work of the school and nursery. • Continue to develop high quality learning, teaching and assessment approaches across the school and nursery. • Continue to develop approaches to wellbeing in the nursery to support children to have positive and respectful relationships in their play. • Continue to raise attainment across the school and nursery so that all children can achieve their best.

Quality indicators help schools, local authorities and inspectors to judge what is working well and what needs to be improved. Following the inspection of each school, the Scottish Government gathers details of our evaluations to keep track of how well Scottish schools are doing.

We are confident that the school has the capacity to continue to improve and so we will make no more visits in connection with this inspection. Perth and Kinross Council will inform parents/carers about the school’s progress as part of its arrangements for reporting on the quality of its schools. Jim Hammond HM Inspector
