Two primary schools show improvement
(CNS): Two government primary schools achieved ‘satisfactory’ grades during their recent follow-through reviews by school inspectors. Both East End and Red Bay had shown improvement, and although both received long lists of recommendations for further progress, the inspectors from the Office of Education Standards said the schools were doing better. At East End Primary inspectors still judged some areas ‘weak’, such as attainment in English and maths, while both progress and attainment in science were also evaluated as ‘weak’.
But the school was graded ‘satisfactory’ in the majority of areas judged and was rated ‘good’ for self-evaluation and improvement planning, deployment and use of resources for learning. Teaching in Reception was also graded ‘good’.
Meanwhile, Red Bay did even better, with just one area judged ‘weak’, which was for attainment in maths. But inspectors found many good things to commend the school and lauded the leadership for the changes that have been made to the school since the 2018 inspection that have led to the significant progress.
Inspectors also noted that over half of the school’s students require additional support. But they found that one of the school’s key strong points was the children’s good behaviour and positive attitudes to learning.

Well obviously the inspectors are not witnessing the school I know.
So it goes @3:48 pm, put on a show just for inspection. Sometimes I wonder if everything regarding education in the Cayman Islands is all fake.
hahahahahahahah
Great news!
This is good news to see improvements are being made at these two government schools. This is great!
Disappointed in the short article concerning two schools. Would have loved to have a more in-depth one about the improvements at BOTH schools the way CIS had one long article covering more topics.
CNS: There are links to the full reports. They are not that long and include handy summaries.
Disappointed in the article but not the fact that maybe in ten years they will be where they should have been ten years ago?
