Ofsted
School remains Outstanding (Concerns) - S5 Next Inspected 12 July 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, are happy and achieve well at this friendly school.”
- “The school has high expectations for pupils’ achievement.”
- “It focuses on ensuring that pupils develop the skills and knowledge that they need to become, for example, geographers, mathematicians and musicians of the future.”
To improve
- “However, pupils do not develop a deep enough understanding in a small number of subjects.”
- “However, in some subject curriculums, the knowledge that the school intends pupils to learn is not outlined in sufficient detail.”
- “This hinders teachers from ensuring that pupils learn all that they should in these subjects.”
