I am delighted to introduce myself as the headteacher of Craigroyston Community High School, as you know Mrs McClaren has moved to a two-year secondment as part-time headteacher at Broughton High School and I will be here until June 2028. My last post was Head of Education at the City of Edinburgh Council and previously I was the headteacher at Liberton High School for eleven years. I have taught in many Edinburgh schools and started my career at Broughton High School in 1995; I may have taught a few of you at that time. I am very keen to involve our young people, parents, carers and community in the decisions we make to improve the educational experiences that we offer. If you would like to meet and discuss anything about our school and have ideas on how we better serve our community then please get in touch and we can set up a meeting or if you see me at the front gate, please say hello. Stephen.kelly@craigroyston.edin.sch.uk Kind regards, Stephen
Please read the latest information from the school in the Headteacher Update
Craigroyston Community High School is a non-denominational secondary community school serving a catchment area in the northwest of Edinburgh with a roll of 765 pupils. In the school’s catchment there are 3 associated Primary Schools; Craigroyston, Forthview and Pirniehall.
The school’s catchment is in a designated area of high deprivation. Free Meal Entitlement is 40% and one quarter of our pupil body have additional support for learning requirements. Approximately 10% of our pupil cohort are LAC. The vision for the school reflects this need and a range of nurturing and inclusive measures (including a zero-exclusion approach) have been introduced to best support all young people that attend the school. We benefit from close links with a range of partners.
The curriculum rationale is to meet the needs of every young person so that when they leave school they have a portfolio of skills, experiences, qualifications, and a knowledge of the job market to ensure they enter a sustained positive destination. To that end the school strongly encourages all young people to stay on at school until the end of S6. An innovative, aspirational Senior Phase linked to employment, using vocational courses and strong college links as well as traditional subject provision ensures that every young person has a curriculum that suits their needs and ambitions.
