About Ross High School

Ross High School is a co-educational secondary school in the town of Tranent, East Lothian, Scotland. Named for a former member of the local council, the school was first established in 1954. Although the school still occupies the same site, over the years Ross High School has seen extensive redevelopment and modernisation, culminating most recently in a multi-million-pound extension completed in 2007. Ross High School has around 100 students on roll aged 11-18, making it slightly larger than the average secondary school. The school offers specialist provision for students requiring additional support, via a dedicated centre.

Values and Vision

Ross High School works hard to ensure the personal development of its pupils outside of the classroom. This includes ensuring they have the necessary emotional intelligence, social intelligence and self-confidence to apply themselves as adults, and to make the most out of their academic qualifications. The school offers a diverse and welcoming curriculum, and primarily draws its students from the surrounding town, ensuring a strong community feel.


Education Scotland Inspection

“Most young people are keen to learn and work purposefully on tasks. They enjoy being actively involved in their learning and work well with each other and their teachers. Where young people are engaged in tasks which allow them to work collaboratively, they speak positively about how this has helped their learning. Most young people are well-behaved and feel the school is helping them become more confident learners.”
