Convener of Education, Councillor Maureen Henry said, “I am delighted to announce the delivery of yet another excellent Standards and Quality Report on the Education Service in East Dunbartonshire. The report covers all areas of education, from early learning and childcare through to school leaver destinations. It also details the attainments and continuous improvement identified in all areas including the curriculum, health and wellbeing, school leadership, teacher professionalism and parental engagement.”
Cllr Henry continued, “We are very, very proud of the education service delivered here in East Dunbartonshire which is achieved through great leadership and high teaching standards as well as through parental support and engagement. I would urge all parents and carers of children at school in East Dunbartonshire to read this report online and see the continuous improvements being made within our schools.”
