A team of inspectors from Education Scotland visited Gleniffer High School in March and rated the facility ‘good’ across both learning, teaching and assessment and raising attainment and achievement.

A number of strengths were noted by the watchdog, including caring supportive relationships between staff and young people, senior leaders’ approaches to encouraging close partnership working and a strong focus on providing a wide range of courses that meet the needs of learners who may require additional support.

The report and its findings were discussed at a meeting of Renfrewshire Council's education and children’s services policy board on Thursday.
