The Catholic faith is at the core of the school’s teachings and it wishes for students to develop spiritually, morally, intellectually, socially and physically in a safe and nurturing learning environment. The academy encourages students to work to the best of their ability and celebrates success and achievement within the school community.

Education Scotland

“Young people’s relationships with staff are positive and mutually respectful, with the result that they willingly answer questions and express their ideas. When teachers provide them with detailed feedback on how to improve their learning, young people are more confident about what they can do to improve their learning.”
