Secret of success in Scotland’s best primary school
A small Catholic primary school was celebrating yesterday after being given the best-ever report by inspectors in Scotland.St Mark's Primary in Barrhead, which is in East Renfrewshire near Glasgow, was given 11 "excellent" ratings by HM Inspectorate of Education (HMIE) - more than any other school in the country.
Patricia Kennedy, St Mark's headteacher, said the success of the school, which serves a mixed catchment area covering both deprived and affluent areas, was down to the efforts of staff to give pupils the education they would want for their own children.
Bishop Philip Tartaglia, the Bishop of Paisley in whose diocese the school is situated, said: "St Mark's is the embodiment of successful Catholic education."
