Sports
“We tried to change the school and move it away from thinking that sporting achievement was the only relevant achievement. This was my idea alongside other co-leaders. We were doing extremely well academically but sporting achievement was recognised more. I wished to achieve sense of balance. Whilst sport and leisure were compulsory, not every child liked sport. “—Andrew Hunter, SCAI Witness Statement (17 November 2020)
Care Inspectorate – Merchiston External Inspection Report (19 September 2019)
All of the detail that is not present here is readily accessible to staff. Why not just have it ready to go in copy and paste format for official reports like this? The reports ask the same questions each time? The school calendar exists already and doesn’t change too much. This report does not put on the record how life at the school is organized, either hour by hour or day by day.
