Its been a bitty week so far - we have been playing host to various visiting individuals which has been the perfect justification to spend time tidying up the office and the buildings, always an important task to do but one that slips down the priority list on a regular basis.
On Tuesday our field teaching was assessed by an external examinor as part of the Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge "mark". Our team was rated overall as "very good" and with just a few minor tweaks will get an "oustanding" rating. A superb effort by our field teaching team - the weather was foul, the normal class teacher was off sick so the school came with a replacement teacher and the kids were hyper active so all in all a brilliant result confirming what we all new - our field teachers provide a superb service.
On Wednesday the regional director from VisitScotland was on site - luckily it was not raining just slightly windy! He seemed to enjoy his visit and we will get some useful feedback from him.
Today we are hosting a visit from our own Director Scotland so an intensive week for us all!
Tomorrow we are off on our Xmas walk - unbelievably this is the last week that the whole team will be together until mid February!
