Clydeview slated by school inspectors
Clydeview School and Nursery failed to impress during its latest inspection by Education Scotland.
In the report both primary stages and the nursery class rated as “weak” in both the Learning, Teaching and Assessment, and the Raising Attainment and Achievement categories.

Inspectors were positive about the enthusiasm for learning shown by the children and the support for the school by parents and wider school community.
However, they also called for a series of measures, including a review of child protection documentation and additional staff training in this regard, better self-evaluation to help staff improve outcomes for children and their families; individualised teaching plans and improved procedures for measuring children’s progress.
A follow-up inspection will be carried out at the school.
A spokesman for North Lanarkshire Council said: “This inspection report presents us with a number of challenges and falls short of the high standards set for all our school establishments.

“Senior education officers are working with school staff and inspectors to ensure the issues highlighted are addressed as a matter of utmost priority.”
