School remains Good (Concerns) - S5 Next Inspected 10 April 2024
Strengths
- “This is a school that values diversity, inclusivity and kindness.”
- “Pupils feel accepted for who they are and appreciate the supportive environment created by their peers and the staff.”
- “One pupil, typical of many, said, ‘You can’t pick your family, but you can pick your school and I would pick this school every day.”
To improve
- “However, pupils have not benefited from a consistently strong curriculum over time.”
- “Some pupils do not achieve as well as they should and are capable of more.”
- “New leaders are taking the right steps to address this, but much of their work is at an early stage of development.”
