The feedback from our Shared Education monitoring visit from E.T.I. inspector was very affirming. Here are a few highlights of the inspector’s comments:                                                                             

There is a definite whole school vision and approach to Shared Education.  There is a clear and strong sense of strategic leadership from the principals and coordinators.  There is evidence of high level Governor communication and commitment.  There is a clear sense of togetherness but also a healthy recognition of the differences between the schools. There is clear community impact from the partnership. Outcomes from the parents and pupils are that attitudes towards cultural diversity are very positive. Working with parents at STEM nights is another clear strength.                                                                                                                                                  

The three strands of S.T.E.M., Forest Schools & R.R.S.A. are clear areas of focus.  An innovative and determined approach to innovation is evident.  The S.L.T. focus on ensuring quality provision and outcomes is commendable.

Conclusion: The partnership was congratulated on its successes. It was stated clearly that there is much to be proud of and share. Capacity for self-evaluation was another area of strength.
