Schools

We are raising levels of attainment and achievement by giving children and young people opportunities to fully develop their personality, talents and mental and physical abilities.
This starts with quality pre-schooling, where children learn as they play, building on valuable home learning, and preparing for primary school.
Pre-five education and childcare is available for three and four year olds in 32 nursery schools/classes and in 18 partnership centres.
The curriculum in 45 primary, nine secondary and three specialist schools addresses national priorities for education – attainment & achievement, framework for learning, equality & inclusion, values & citizenship and learning for life.
In 2005/6, our secondary pupils performed as well as in 2004/2005, doing better than both the Ayrshire and the Scottish average.
92% gained awards in English and Maths at SCQF level 3 (e.g. Standard Grade Foundation) or better by the end of S4. (Scottish average 91%)
38% attained five or more awards at SCQF level 5 (e.g. Standard Grade Credit) or better by the end of S4. (Scottish average 34%)
By the end of S5, 25% of the previous year’s S4 year group attained three or more awards at SCQF level 6 (Higher) or better. (Scottish average 21%)
