Kilbirnie’s St Bridget's Primary School Tops Times League Table

That the Parliament congratulates St Bridget’s Primary School in Kilbirnie, North Ayrshire, on being named Scotland’s Top Primary School in the Times League Table, achieving 380 out of 400 points, despite 93% of its pupils living in Scotland’s most deprived areas and around half of them having additional support needs; recognises this as a testament to the dedication of Head Teacher, Dennis Hopkins, and his teaching and support staff, who have worked with pupils and parents to achieve the best potential outcomes for the pupils; believes that this outcome illustrates that the Scottish Government’s ongoing efforts have helped to narrow the attainment gap for North Ayrshire pupils; acknowledges that St Bridget’s is one of four primary schools in Cunninghame North in Scotland’s top 20, with Dykesmains Primary in Saltcoats, Beith Primary and St Mary’s Primary School in Largs occupying the 8th,10th and 17th positions respectively, and wishes all schools and pupils every success in their ongoing efforts to further narrow the attainment gap across North Ayrshire and Scotland.
