Congratulating Pupils and Staff at Hyndland Secondary School on Decade-breaking Success

Lodged by Sandesh Gulhane Standard Motion 26 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament understands that Education Scotland inspectors have awarded Glasgow-based Hyndland Secondary School the first "excellent" ratings in Scotland in almost a decade; recognises that the ratings for both the "learning, teaching and assessment" and "raising attainment and achievement" categories were awarded the top-grade following the inspection in November 2024; congratulates the school’s pupils and staff for their personal efforts in demonstrating what it sees as state education at its very best, and serving as an example of what can be achieved; understands that one-fifth of the school’s intake is in receipt of free school meals and that a quarter of pupils come from the most deprived data zones, which are traditional measures of ensuring equality of school outcomes and attainment across society; notes the wide range of over 50 extra-curricular activities on offer; understands that almost every pupil is involved in such activities, and commends the school for providing what it considers is a blueprint to improve outcomes for all pupils across the country.
