Children and young people’s learning benefits from highly effective cluster and transition
- arrangements. These enable learners in several
curricular areas, notably in PE and Music, to engage in very well-planned, coherent learning at all levels. This learning takes place in both primary and secondary environments. Collaborative approaches to developing and implementing a shared vision across the school and cluster. The school’s vision of “United in Purpose” has been developed and agreed in collaboration with Larbert cluster schools.
