That this House congratulates St Clare’s Primary School, Drumchapel in Glasgow West constituency on the positive inspection report they received from Education Scotland; commends the pupils at the school, who inspectors noted were welcoming, friendly, polite and proud of their school; recognises the dedication of the school’s headteacher Maryann McGuinness, senior leader, teachers and the entire school community, whose hard work has developed a culture where raising attainment is a key focus for improvements; notes that the pupils across the school have been achieving above average standards when measured against Glasgow and national comparator schools in literacy and numeracy; and further notes that St Clare’s was particularly praised for their system of class councils where children help to choose and order resources for the school such as furniture and playground equipment, which in turn helps the pupils to develop confidence and leadership.
