What information can I find here about Ibrox Primary School & Nursery Class?
This page provides contact and location information for Ibrox Primary School & Nursery Class, together with its school phase, funding type, denomination, Gaelic provision and other details published for the school. Where available, you can also find its website, email address, telephone number, local authority and similar schools nearby.
Why does this school have a SEED code instead of a URN?
Schools in Scotland use a seven-digit Scottish Educational Establishment Database code, normally called a SEED code. URNs are primarily used to identify educational establishments in England and Wales.
Who inspects schools in Scotland?
Scottish schools are inspected by Education Scotland through His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Education. They are not inspected by Ofsted.
Why is there no Ofsted rating for this school?
Ofsted does not inspect schools in Scotland. Scottish inspection reports use a different framework and should not be converted directly into Ofsted grades. You can search for published reports using the Education Scotland inspection report service.
What does the school phase mean?
The phase describes the main type of education provided by the school, such as primary, secondary, special or all-through education. An all-through school provides both primary and secondary education.
What is a pre-school department?
A pre-school department provides early learning and childcare as part of, or alongside, the school. A primary school can therefore have both a primary department and a pre-school department.
What does Gaelic provision mean?
Gaelic provision indicates that the school offers some form of Gaelic education. This may include a Gaelic-medium stream within an English-medium school or education delivered mainly or entirely through Gaelic.
What does “medium of education” mean?
The medium of education describes the principal language used for teaching. A school may be English-medium, Gaelic-medium, or have separate English-medium and Gaelic-medium streams.
What does the denomination describe?
Denomination describes the school’s religious designation. Scottish schools may be non-denominational, Roman Catholic or have another recognised denominational status.
What is a grant-aided school in Scotland?
A grant-aided school receives funding directly from the Scottish Government rather than being managed and funded in the same way as an ordinary local authority school. It is still shown under the local authority area where it is physically located.
Why are some details unavailable?
Some information may not be required for a particular type of school, may not have been supplied in the latest official return, or may not yet be included in our Scottish school data. A missing value does not necessarily mean that the school does not provide that service.
