Spanish Town Primary: Dreaming And Living Excellence

Posted on 11/3/2017

"Good morning sirs," students in a class at the St Catherine-based Spanish Town Primary School greeted The Gleaner's news team.

"We dream and live excellence." They chirped the mantra the school administration has adopted in its quest to improve the rating of 'unsatisfactory' which the National Education Inspectorate (NEI) assigned the institution following inspection in September 2014.

Teamwork Makes Scott's Hall's Dream Work

Posted on 10/10/2017

"Teamwork makes the dream work," stated principal, Eunice McKenzie, as she relates how Scott's Hall Primary in St Mary pulled itself up from near the bottom of the school effectiveness ranking established by the National Education Inspectorate (NEI). In November 2011, the NEI graded the school's overall effectiveness as unsatisfactory. The chief inspector was very critical of the unsatisfactory quality of the leadership and management of the school, noting that the then principal had "a vision for the future development of the school but did not sufficiently involve all staff in the implementation to make it meaningful."
