Depute Head Teacher

"There is a climate of aspiration in the school, which promotes that there is no limit to what can be achieved for the young people of St. Ninian’s High School. This is underpinned by gospel values, the Catholic faith, mutual respect and nurturing relationships. Young people feel they have extensive opportunities to achieve their potential, and develop their wellbeing”. Inspection of Saint Ninian’s, Education Scotland, 4 June 2019.

Saint Ninian’s High School is a six year comprehensive Roman Catholic School with a pupil population drawn from a large area on the south side of Glasgow. The school offers a vibrant environment for learning and teaching and seeks to develop the highest standards for all students. We are committed to developing young people within the distinctive ethos of a Roman Catholic School.

Our aim is to assist all students to achieve their full potential in all aspects of their development – personal, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual, and in doing so inspire all our students to become the very best they can be.

We seek to promote Gospel values as a way of life. It is our belief that these should be experienced in the daily life of the school – in the classroom, in the corridor, in the co-curricular life of the school, in the relationships between pupils and staff and between pupil and pupil. The success of that education is measured not simply in terms of academic performance but in terms of the depth and quality of the formation of our young people ensuring the fullest possible development of each person’s individual capacities at each stage of their journey through school. Our students see every day as an opportunity to grow and to continue this journey of development throughout their school and post-school life. Through our focus on service, leadership and character development, they are exceptionally willing and highly motivated to use their developed gifts for the common good, transforming the culture in which they live, learn and work, putting their faith into action for numerous social justice events.
