The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Williamwood High School in Busby on receiving an outstanding inspection report from Education Scotland; understands that a team of inspectors visited Williamwood High in February and found that the school had a range of strengths including highly motivated and very well spoken pupils who have a resolute focus on achievement; further understands that the range of strengths highlighted by Education Scotland also includes the cultivation of a strong working relationship between the headteacher, senior leaders, staff and pupils to formulate a high-quality and well-structured framework of key principles in the areas of learning, teaching and assessment, a large number of different activities and programmes to support and develop the wider achievement of young people and exceptional levels of attainment by pupils; understands that Education Scotland has graded Williamwood High as "very good" on the quality indicators of learning, teaching and assessment and "excellent" for raising attainment and achievement; believes that Williamwood High School is the latest in a growing list of Eastwood schools and nurseries to experience a positive Education Scotland assessment in recent years with St Joseph's Primary, St Cadoc's Primary and Nursery, Kirkhill Primary, Braidbar Primary and Nursery Class and the Hazeldene Family Learning Centre all receiving impressive reports; commends Williamwood High for what it sees as the truly superb report that it has received, with Education Scotland describing the attainment of pupils as exceptional, and awarding the school the highest ranking of "excellent" on the quality indicator of raising attainment and achievement, and believes that it is viewed as sector-leading in this category.
