## Care Inspectorate and official records

Its latest Care Inspectorate grades (from reports published up to July 2020) are: care, play and learning Very good (5), setting Very good (5), leadership Very good (5) and staff team Good (4). The Care Inspectorate gives no overall grade.

The Care Inspectorate gives each area its own grade: 6 Excellent, 5 Very good, 4 Good, 3 Adequate, 2 Weak, 1 Unsatisfactory. There is no overall grade, and we never make one up. A key question keeps its grade until an inspection grades it again, so the grades can come from different inspections.
