Students are taught the importance of values such as respect, responsibility and hard work and are given the skills needed for life.
Education Scotland
“[There are] high standards of attainment across the school [and] friendly, well-behaved children and young people who contribute actively to their local community. Learner’s experiences in English across the school… make them articulate and confident communicators [and there is a] supportive ethos and positive relationships. Across the school, young people are eager to learn and approach tasks and activities enthusiastically. Across the secondary stages, young people work particularly well when they are encouraged to think for themselves.”
