Month: March 2018

We are delighted to share the most recent Education Scotland  Inspection Report for our secondary provision, Mariner Support Service. The inspection was a positive experience for the service.  We would like to send a huge THANKYOU to everyone across our community who took time to meet with the inspectors and celebrate the work Mariner Support Service does.

HMIe recognised many aspects of good practice and shared their views upon how the children and families experience a child centred and nurturing staff team who work incredibly hard to ensure positive outcomes for all of the Mariner Support Service community. With all inspections there are recommendations to support on-going improvement and development. We will look at how best to include these areas in our improvement planning across the following academic sessions.

The full Inspection report can be found at:

Both Oxgang School and Support Service and Mariner Support Service will reopen on Monday 5th March.

Thanks to all who helped with clearing a path to get in!

Mariner-Please be aware that not all the snow is gone, and there is limited access to the site. Help us keep the pupils safe by following staff directions and not blocking any routes. It may be necessary to drop pupils further up the lane and walk the final stages into school.

Oxgang- the car park is still covered in snow and taxis will drop off children at the school gates. Staff will meet them there and escort them into school safely.

Schools across Falkirk will remain closed on Friday 2nd March 2018 due to the ongoing severe weather. Please continue to look at the Falkirk Council Website for advice and updates.
