School and nursery inspections frequency and reports: FOI release
Information requested
The reports I’m interested in are for the following Primary schools:
Roseburn Sciennes Bruntsfield James Gillespie's South Morningside Craiglockhart Dean Park
and the following Secondary schools:
Craigmount High School Boroughmuir High School James Gillespie's High School
If you could also send the report for Early Days Nursery (Palmerston Place), that would be great. Can you confirm how often schools / nurseries are inspected as I was surprised some schools had not been inspected for more than 5 years.
Response
Please find attached some of the inspection reports you have requested, that are no longer available on the Education Scotland website.

With regards to your question on how often schools are inspected, it may be helpful if we explain the approach to inspection in Scotland. Our inspection of education establishments (early learning and childcare, primary, secondary and special schools) in Scotland is on a proportionate basis using a sampling based approach, it is not on an annual or cyclical basis. More information on the approach we use can be obtained on our website at: https://education.gov.scot/what-we-do/inspection-and-review/standards-and-evaluation-framework/07-how-often-do-we-inspect. You may also find further useful information on education establishments on the Scottish Government’s School Information Dashboard: https://education.gov.scot/parentzone/my-school/School%20information%20dashboard
