Welcome!
As the end of another term approaches it is pleasing to report that Queen Anne High School remains in good heart. The SQA results in August seem a long time ago and I have already said on many occasions how pleased the school is with the youngsters’ performance. The outcome of the appeals process has made that good performance better.
While celebrating the achievements of the past I know that staff and pupils are already working hard for both their prelims and summer 2009 SQA examinations. Our youngsters are in no doubt about the school’s high standards and are aware that we want each individual to maximise their academic success. If this happens, we look forward to being able to report a continuing rise in the attainment of the school as a whole.
Examination results are important but they are only one of a number of indicators of a successful school. We believe that in the other important areas Queen Anne High School also continues to flourish.
Our S1 intake have settled well and report that they are enjoying the school.
There is a strong sense of order in the school and a productive climate for learning
Our Remembrance Service was appreciated by the veterans, guests and others who attended.
The school’s extra curricular programme extends opportunities to an ever increasing number of youngsters
The “hard” and “soft” indicators all point to Queen Anne High School’s success but the real story of any school comes from its youngsters. The “Daily Dozen” who pass through my office confirm our belief that Queen Anne is a good place to learn.
I take this opportunity to thank the staff, parents, carers and all others associated with Queen Anne High School, who help make this the school it is.
