Another Aird and Loch Ness school, Dochgarroch Primary school, has come in for praise after a Quality Improvement officer visit. Focussing on Learning and Teaching the report points out the some key areas where the school has done very well.  I am a firm believer that relationships are at the centre of success for schools and at Dochgarroch there is a strong bond between the Parents, the pupils and the staff. The school really is the centre of the community.

Highlights from the report state that Dochgarroch pupils are generally "well motivated and treat each other with respect" it says that "Standards of attainment in general are impressive" and "Learners are proud of their school, work very well cooperatively and and support each other effectively"

I would like to congratulate Mrs Donald, her staff and the pupils at the school, for the recognition in the report and it serves to underline what I have always found when I visit.

The quality of education in the schools in our ward, Aird and Loch Ness, is very good and has been, in most cases, for years. I look forward to taking the opportunity to highlight further successes for Dochgarroch and the other schools as reports come in.
