Granton Primary

A positive meeting yesterday with the Director of Education and the parents from Granton School. Whether it will translate into into extra resources will become clearer later. The parents had prepared their case well and spoke with conviction, making a strong case for recognition of the high levels of behavioural problems in the school and the need for more help. The problem is, of course, not helped by the absence of a permanent headteacher (the temporary secondment leaves at the beginning of the holidays) - I was shocked to learn that P3 pupils haven't received a report card this year...this isn't acceptable and I certainly hope that this will be rectified before the end of term. The Department has promised to respond to parents before then...
