Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education (HMIE Inspection)
In 2005, HMIE undertook an inspection of the school. The inspection found that the school's pastoral care, partnership with parents and vocational guidance were all of very high quality and that the school had developed a "culture of continuous improvement". It identified weaknesses in accommodation and facilities as areas in need of attention, and suggested further improvements in achievement at S1 and S2 levels.
