Parent and carer research – Parents’ Voice Survey 2025/26

Feedback on Skills Development Scotland’s (SDS) career service:
Parents and carers are key influencers over young people’s career ambitions and choices.

 

SDS work in close partnership with this school to support our young people to make informed career choices and they would value feedback from parents and carers on their services. You can do this by taking part in a short survey.

All responses are confidential and anonymous, and the results will be used to inform SDS services.

 

The survey should only take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

S1 PBL Wildlife Charity Donations

We are so proud of our S1 Project Based Learning classes this session. Their showcase last Friday was a fantastic event and a great way to show how they collaborated as teams to tackle their Big Question on Health and Wellbeing or Learning for Sustainability.

Today, two PBL teams are sending cheques for £100 to the UK Wild Otter Trust to help care for otters and to the WWF to help conserve snow leopards.

Zaryab and Abdullah made cookies with their classes and sold these to raise funds for the WWF. Louise, Emily and Leia made and sold otter badges along with otter stickers and raised money for the UK Wild Otter Trust.

Lots of fantastic research and learning along the way but really showing our KPSS Values too, Kindness especially.

We know these donations will be well used by both charities who have been in touch to say a huge thank you to the S1 pupils

Well done to you all, super proud of you all 🌟🤩👏

King’s Park Basketball Claim First Win of the Season

The Kings Park Secondary School basketball team secured their first win of the season with a hard-fought 22–19 victory away from home against Turnbull High last night.

In a closely contested match, the team showed great determination and teamwork to edge out their opponents. Standout performance of the night came from Nifemi Ayorinde (4S2), who was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) for his excellent contribution on the court.

This result marks an important milestone for the squad and is a testament to the hard work being put in by the players and coaching staff. The team is coached by Mr Ellicott, whose guidance continues to help develop both skill and confidence within the group.

Well done to all involved — we look forward to seeing how the season progresses.
