Kilsyth Academy has received a positive report from education inspectors.
The North Lanarkshire secondary school was visited by HM Inspectors of Education in February and the organisation has now written to the families of pupils with their findings.
With the school rated as “good” in both categories of assessment, the inspectors highlighted the “warm and collaborative culture” across the school, including the creation of the Learning and Teaching Charter which led to more consistent learning for young people.
The young people were also commended for their pride in the school, working well with staff to establish a calm and inclusive learning environment.
It was also noted that the pupils were making good progress in literacy and numeracy, helped by regular progress checks from their teachers, who used the information gained from these to provide effective support.
Improvements the inspectors want to see were further development of high quality learning and assessment, with teachers continuing to collaborate on improvements in learning and teaching, while senior staff should continue their focus on the use of tracking to support improvements and raise levels of attainment in national qualifications.
In their letter the inspectors stated they were satisfied the school would continue to improve without the need for further visits in relation to this inspection.
