Rural school inspection dates: FOI release
Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
Information requested
Rural schools in Scotland - gov.scot
Using the linked Excel sheet of rural schools provided by the Scottish Government, can you please tell me the date of their last inspection.
Can I please have this information on an Excel sheet.
Response
You have requested a list of the date of the last inspection for rural schools in Scotland.
Some of the information you have requested has already been made available to you in a previous Freedom of Information response (FOI reference number 202400440966). That FOI response detailed the date of last inspection of all open schools in Scotland. This included schools with a rural classification.
Since that information was provided, eight rural schools have been inspected and therefore have a more recent inspection date than was detailed in the previous FOI response. These schools are detailed in Appendix A.
The list of rural schools in Scotland published by the Scottish Government also details schools that have been mothballed. The date of the last inspection of these mothballed rural schools is detailed in Appendix A.
Notes
1. The date of last inspection is the date of the visit to the school as part of the inspection process.
2. The date of last inspection is based on the original inspection and does not include any subsequent further inspections which took place as a result of the outcome of the original inspection.
3. The data includes schools that have been inspected, and the inspection report has not yet been published.
Under section 25(1) of FOISA, we do not have to give you information which is already reasonably accessible to you. The information you have requested was provided in a previous FOI response sent to you under FOI reference number 202400440966.
