Ofsted
School remains Good (Concerns) - S5 Next Inspected 26 June 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending school.”
- “They feel safe and know who to talk to if they have any concerns.”
- “They value how teachers use ‘CICO’ every day to find out if they are worried or would like to talk to them.”
To improve
- “Although there are many areas of strength to the school’s work, there is more to be done to ensure that everyone in the school community feels as valued as pupils do.”
- “However, not all staff have the same depth of subject knowledge or understanding of how best to teach different aspects of the curriculum.”
- “This means there are some pockets of inconsistency in how well the curriculum is implemented.”
