MSP Praises Castle Kennedy Primary School

ALASDAIR MORGAN, the Member of the Scottish Parliament for Galloway and Upper Nithsdale, has spoken of his admiration for Castle Kennedy Primary School.

This praise comes after the publication of the follow-up report on Castle Kennedy Primary which tracks the progress that the school has made since the last regular standard inspection by HM Inspectorate of Education.

Speaking from the Scottish Parliment in Edinburgh, the local Scottish National Party representative said

"The staff, pupils and parents of Castle Kennedy Primary have performed admirably in the latest inspection of their school.

It is a matter of considerable pride that their progress has been recognised as being "very good" across a wide range of categories.

A number of areas have been singled out for praise, including the teaching of English, Maths and Environmental Studies, as well as the over-all assessment policy and forward planning in numerous areas of the curriculum.

Congratulations are due to everyone involved at Castle Kennedy.

The whole community of Castle Kennedy including both the old and new villages, plus the rural hinterland, clearly benefits from having the school at its heart".
