That this House congratulates Allan’s Primary School on being recognised among the very best schools in Scotland following a visit in April 2025 by His Majesty’s Inspectors of Education and the Care Inspectorate; highlights that this is an exceptional achievement, with the school receiving the extremely rare accolade of two excellent grades, in the areas of leadership of change and ensuring wellbeing, equality and inclusion, a standard attained by only two per cent of schools across Scotland; notes the additional very good evaluations in learning, teaching and assessment and raising attainment and achievement, and the thriving nursery’s very good grades across all four of its quality indicators; pays tribute to head teacher Lindsey Howland for her inspirational leadership in creating a dynamic culture of continuous improvement, and to the staff team for their innovative practice in play-based learning, outdoor learning, attendance, curriculum design and approaches to inclusion; recognises the role of Stirling Council’s Education team in supporting this sector-leading work, which is now being shared and implemented across Scotland; applauds the children, staff, parents and carers of Allan’s Primary for their contribution to such an outstanding outcome; and wishes the whole school community continued success in the future.
