Ofsted
School remains Good (Concerns) - S5 Next Inspected 1 March 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are friendly and caring in this welcoming school community.”
- “They are enthusiastic about their learning in different subjects.”
- “They are confident that staff look out for them, take their concerns seriously and are there to talk to if they have any worries.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, gaps in pupils' learning are not identified and addressed as routinely well, which hinders pupils' progression to more complex concepts.”
- “Leaders have found that, occasionally, targets lack precision.”
- “When this is the case, adaptations are not as precisely focused on pupils' educational needs and the impact of additional support is less secure.”
