Good leadership, effective teamwork and pupils who are polite and keen to learn. Those are some of the features of Shawhead Primary School highlighted in an inspection report published on the 9 March 2010. HM Inspectors of Education visited the school in January 2010 as part of a national sample of primary education.
The children at the school are well behaved and confident. Almost all feel safe and well cared for. Most children are achieving national standards in reading, writing and mathematics. Children are actively involved in the Eco-schools project (being ‘eco-warriors’), the ‘Members of the Shawhead Parliament’, junior road safety officers and being buddies to younger children.
