S1 Pupils – Outstanding Effort

Following the recent tracking reports, we would like to pass on our congratulations to your child for their outstanding effort across their courses. We ask our teaching staff to award the highest ‘rating’ for effort when a pupil’s effort has been exceptional and so to have been given this by a number of different teachers across a range of subjects is superb.
