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.

Senior Phase Curriculum Pathways Information Evening

What a fantastic turnout for our Senior Phase Curriculum Pathways Information Evening tonight! Thank you to all S3-S5 pupils and parents/carers who came along. Thanks also to all the staff who were on hand to support young people to make informed choices about their future pathways. We also had a fabulous group of young people including some of our BGE captains and our new SCQF Pupil Ambassadors helping out this evening – great job everyone!

We hope the event was informative and the opportunity to speak to subject specialists in person was helpful. Please remember to visit the Curriculum section of the school website to find out about the range of courses offered in every department. In the Pupils section, within Course Choice and Careers, you’ll also find a wealth of resources to help with decision-making including details of the options process, including options forms, and signposts to useful websites like My World of Work and PlanIT Plus.

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 🌟🤩👏
