Earlston High School

Leadership is genuinely distributive and evident across the Earlston High School community.

All staff have opportunities to lead learning in their own classroom. This is demonstrated through an expectation to complete pedagogical enquiry plans. Colleagues feel empowered to take professional risks and demonstrate professional courage.

They feel valued and heard and point to the supportive leadership of the Senior Leadership Team, and this team’s belief in their professional growth. Coaching approaches are used extensively and are valued by staff.

There is a strong vision and values are dynamic, regularly referenced in regard to change and improvement, and underpin all professional learning opportunities.

Learning by enquiry is a major strength of Earlston High School. The enquiries of both Teacher and Pupil Support Assistants are shared in an open and supportive way. This allows colleagues to make connections across their own learning and learn with, and from, each other in collaborative ways.
