School takes pride in its education report
Published: Tuesday 3 March 2026
A report by HM Inspectors of Education highlighted how impressed they were with the pride that pupils have shown for their primary school.
The inspection team also highlighted in the HMIe Report that the pupils at Crawforddyke Primary School in Carluke were enthusiastic learners, were kind and caring, self-confident and determined children who respected the teaching environment and their interactions with the teaching staff.
Pupils were also highly motivated and were making good progress with their learning.
And led ably by the headteacher, all staff provide pupils with learning which meets their needs and creates a consistently high-quality, meaningful and relevant learning programme.
Head Teacher Angela Gibson said: "I am proud and delighted with the outcome of our recent HMIe Inspection, particularly as it recognises what an amazing team we have here.
“The report highlights just how committed our pupils and staff are to their school, their learning and their community, while also commending what a warm, nurturing and exciting place it is.
“Our school is always in motion, always looking for ways to ensure our learners have the best possible experiences in their classrooms and beyond.
“We are very confident this will continue as we journey together."

Following the recommendations of the report, the staff will continue to raise attainment in literacy and numeracy across the school.
Councillor Lynsey Hamilton, the chair of the council’s Education Committee, said: “Thank you to all the staff, pupils and parents for their hard work, and their dedication to their school.
“It’s particularly pleasing to read that the school meet learners needs well through an inclusive learning approach.
“The whole school community thoroughly deserves all the praise and positive feedback highlighted in the report.”
