Councillors are expected to approve a plan to improve the attainment and experiences of children at a north-east school next week.
Peterhead Academy was reviewed by Education Scotland in March this year as part of a national sample of secondary education in the country.
Inspectors found that while improvements were being made at the school, more work needed to be done. They will revisit the school next year ensure progress is maintained.
Now, to push the school forward, Aberdeenshire Council has unveiled a three-year improvement plan for staff at the academy to work towards.
In a report to the Buchan area committee, the authority’s director of education services, Maria Walker, said staff at the school had already signed off on the plan.
“Improvement priorities identified in the report are being addressed by the senior leadership team and staff, with the continued support of Aberdeenshire Council to ensure that improvements achieved can be sustained and recommendations progressed,” she added.
The plan is divided into three categories: learning provision, leadership and management, and success and achievements.
In each category, the plan will be measured against its aims to determine success.
It includes non-promoted staff taking on leadership roles to work with senior pupils, improving the attendance and attainment of all pupils, and promoting volunteer opportunities for youngsters.
As well as approving the scheme on Tuesday, councillors have been urged to agree for future inspection reports to be discussed at committee level.
Last month, Aberdeenshire Council announced a £63million plan to replace Peterhead Academy with a new facility in the port.
Council officers are currently scouting possible sites, and examining buildings around the existing site as an option.
The SNP-led council administration has made replacing the aging school one of its priorities.
