Angus Virtual School

Angus Virtual School exemplifies professional courage. A huge leap of faith has been taken by the Local Authority, transforming the professional development across Angus schools.

Angus Virtual School (AVS) holds teacher agency and professional growth at the heart of what it does, ensuring schools that request engagement and advice are supported through coaching conversations to empower and motivate.

AVS acknowledge they ‘may not always have the right answers, but they will always ask the right questions’.

Collaboration is central to the success of AVS, with the key to success being the trust that has been built by this team across Angus. Their approach is authentic, honest and credible, and they have established a strong ‘no-blame’ culture where they sensitively identify school improvement needs and seek ways to support improvement.

One key strength of AVS is how they exemplify the GTCS Professional Standards, specifically the Professional Values and Personal Commitment.
