Councillor Caroline Shiers

Scottish Conservatives have praised an “excellent” report on a Perthshire school by HM Inspectors of Education.

Murdo Fraser MSP and Councillor Caroline Shiers were commenting on the report, which was published following a visit by the Inspectors to Rattray Primary School in February.

Councillor Shiers, who represents the Blairgowrie and the Glens ward, said: “I would like to congratulate headteacher, Mrs Robertson, and her team at Rattray Primary School on this very positive report. The school community have had a great deal to contend with following Covid, including the refurbishment of the school and construction of the new nursery.

“The report really reflects the ethos of the school at the heart of the Rattray community and confirms what we knew of the dedication, hard work and commitment of all staff across the school.

“I am sure pupils, parents and staff will be very proud of all they have achieved and are looking forward to the future.”

And Mr Fraser added: “This was an excellent report on Rattray Primary School by the Inspectors of Education. It was very encouraging to note the Inspectors say that the ‘highly committed’ staff team demonstrates leadership, work well together and have a strong understanding of the needs of the school community.

“I was particularly pleased to see that the Inspectors highlighted that staff at the school create an inclusive school that values the contribution of children.

“I have written to the school’s headteacher to congratulate them on this very positive report.”
