3. Background/Main Issues 3.1 Education Scotland/HMIE Inspections 3.1.1 As required for the National Improvement Framework, HMIE will report on and provide grades for the following Quality Indicators (QIs) as part of full model inspections: • QI 1.3 – leadership of change; • QI 2.3 – learning, teaching and assessment; • QI 3.1 – ensuring wellbeing, equality and inclusion; and • QI 3.2 – raising attainment and achievement. Short model inspections focus on QIs 2.3 and 3.2. 3.2 ELC Inspections 3.2.1 ELC settings are subject to inspections from the Care Inspectorate and Education Scotland and can experience joint inspections where both scrutiny bodies evaluate the quality of the provision. Due to higher levels of scrutiny in the ELC sector, it has been agreed nationally that an ELC setting which has been inspected by the Care Inspectorate will not receive an inspection by Education Scotland within 18 months. 3.2.2 The Quality improvement framework for early learning and childcare sectors is framed around four key headings, each of these includes a number of QIs for actual inspection. • Leadership • Children thrive and develop in quality spaces • Children play and learn • Children are supported to achieve 3.2.3 Each QI is graded on a 6-point scale in which 1 = unsatisfactory, 2 = weak, 3 = adequate, 4 = good, 5 = very good and 6 = excellent, and the overall key question evaluation is based on the lowest QI rating if more than one is completed. Following the publication of Funding follows the child and the national standard for early learning and childcare providers: principles and practice, all ELC settings must gain evaluations of good or better to be able to provide funded ELC in partnership with the local authority. 3.2.4 Recommendations and requirements may follow an inspection. • Recommendations: statements that set out actions the care service provider should take to improve or develop the quality of the service; and Page 8 of 44
Page 9
• Requirements: statements which set out what is required of the care service provider to comply with relevant legislation. 3.2.5 Care service providers must submit an action plan to the Care Inspectorate addressing any requirements and recommendations identified. Progress against the action plan is monitored by the Care Inspectorate through annual return and self-assessment forms submitted by the care service provider, and through subsequent inspection. 4.

1 | Dunbarney Primary School and Nursery Class, Perth and Kinross Council, 5341825 © Crown Copyright 28 April 2026 Dear Parent/Carer In February 2026, a team of HM Inspectors of Education visited Dunbarney Primary School and nursery class. During our visit, we talked to parents/carers and children and worked closely with the headteacher and staff. The inspection team found the following strengths in the school’s work. • Senior leaders and staff have created a calm, nurturing learning environment across the school and nursery, underpinned by the school values. Children are caring, kind and considerate, and engage very well in their learning. They enjoy warm, supportive relationships with each other and with staff. • Led by the headteacher alongside the depute head teacher, staff use a wide range of information about children’s learning very well to improve outcomes. This helps all children, including those needing additional support, to make very strong progress in literacy and numeracy. • Across the school children are developing a broad range of skills and use these well when leading clubs and activities. These experiences help them become more independent learners and responsible citizens, and they can explain how these skills matter in their everyday lives. • Staff in the nursery use planning systems very well to provide a balanced mix of child-led and adult-initiated learning. This ensures children experience a wide range of meaningful and varied learning opportunities across the curriculum that supports their development well. The following areas for improvement were identified and discussed with the headteacher and a representative from Perth and Kinross Council. • Senior leaders and staff should continue to strengthen creative approaches to teaching, providing children with greater opportunities to lead and direct their learning to ensure all children consistently experience high-quality learning and teaching across the school. • Senior leaders and staff in the ELC should ensure all children have progressive targets in their learning plans. This will ensure all children received the correct level of support and build on what they already know to ensure all children make the best possible progress. 4 Page 15 of 44

During our visit, we talked to parents/carers and children and worked closely with the headteacher and staff. The inspection team found the following strengths in the school’s work. • The headteacher provides highly motivating and energising leadership. She is greatly valued across the school community. Senior and middle leaders work well together as a strong team, developing an ethos of positive and respectful relations as part of one all-through school community. • Staff are developing a greater consistency and quality of learning, teaching and assessment. This results in children and young people being motivated to learn. They participate well in lessons. • Children’s and young people’s wellbeing and learning needs are met thoughtfully by a staff and partner team who know them well. Children and young people, as a result, display a strong sense of belonging to the school community and achieve positive outcomes. • Senior leaders and staff are using data effectively to identify gaps in learners’ attainment and achievements. They are targeting successful improvements which are increasing the number of children and young people who attain well. • Staff, parents and community partners support and promote very keenly Gàidhlig - Gaelic language and culture. This, along with the work of staff, increases children’s and young people’s sense of identity to Gàidhlig. The numbers learning Gàidhlig are increasing at the early stages. • Staff in the nursery have created a nurturing and inclusive culture ethos. This promotes a sense of community where everyone is welcomed and valued. Staff have formed very good relationships with parents who feel welcomed and confident in approaching the nursery. Children are confident, happy and enjoy their nursery experiences. The following areas for improvement were identified and discussed with the headteacher and a representative from Perth and Kinross Council. • Staff should continue to embed their approaches to improving learning, teaching and assessment across the school. They should focus on using assessment information more effectively to plan appropriate levels of pace and challenge for learners. 4 Page 23 of 44
Page 24

The experiences and spaces for children under three should be reviewed. • Senior leaders should develop a more strategic approach to increasing the total number of children and young people with high-quality fluency in Gàidhlig Medium Education. They should plan for a full range of resources for children and young people’s learning and qualifications to be in Gàidhlig. • As planned, senior leaders and staff should develop further a progressive curriculum so that all children and young people understand fully their wellbeing. They should ensure that this work offers children and young people greater opportunities to learn about all aspects of equality across the school. • Staff should continue to raise the attainment of children and young people. They should focus on addressing the remaining identified attainment and achievement gaps. Page 24 of 44

They are implementing these well across the school. The following areas for improvement were identified and discussed with the headteacher and a representative from Perth and Kinross Council. • Staff should plan learning and track progress that meets the needs of all children in multi-composite classes across all curricular areas. They should develop further opportunities for children to be fully engaged in planning and leading their own learning. This should ensure that children’s attainment, achievement and progress is improved further. • Staff should continue to support children to understand how their achievements link to skills for learning, life and work. • Senior leaders and the local authority have worked together to take forward areas for improvement in safeguarding which required urgent action. They should continue to monitor and review the impact of this work over time. 4 Page 27 of 44

Appendix 6: Summary of Care Inspectorate Day Care of Children Inspections National and Comparator Authority Benchmarking 2021/22 to date (Comparator and National Data as of 31 March 20261) 1 All data supplied by Care Inspectorate Data Store and covers published inspections to 31/03/2026. This includes PKC Partner Provider settings for PKC and non-Local Authority supplied settings for Comparator Authorities/ National. 4 Page 37 of 44
Page 38
Overall, most ELC settings perform well. PKC perform consistently better than comparator authorities, and at national level when inspected by Care Inspectorate. Most inspections are good or better for all Quality Indicators. We are scoring above our comparator authorities and at national level. A continued focus on embedding the Experiences and Spaces Document and Family Mealtime Experience audit are both having a very positive impact on the grading for How good is our setting. The ELC Leadership programme continues to support the How good is our Leadership grading with a focus on the high standard of Quality Assurance, robust Self Evaluation and Improvement Planning. It should be noted that the Early Years Team are currently working with a number of settings to take forward action plans to address the outcomes of these inspections. Where evaluations are adequate or weak, a ‘team around the setting’ approach is taken in order to secure improvements. Currently, action plans are in for 4 settings which are supported by relevant officers. These are regularly monitored and reviewed with a final report on improvements being presented to parents.
