Some of our first year pupils’ were lucky to be chosen to attend the launch of North Lanarkshire Council’s ‘Read to Succeed’ initiative, supported by NLC’s  Secondary Attainment Challenge. Every secondary school in North Lanarkshire have been given an author visit and an injection of new books for each school library.  For many years Coltness High School has encouraged reading for pleasure as it’s been shown to be beneficial in academic attainment and also health and wellbeing. Most importantly, reading can be fun and takes you on many adventures and journeys!
