Two Edinburgh schools have beaten off stiff competition from across Scotland to be selected as finalists at this year’s Scottish Education Awards.
Craigroyston High School has been named as a finalist for the Enterprise and Employability across Learning (Secondary) Award.
The shortlisted entry highlights how the school has been nationally recognised for partnering with businesses and employers to give students many opportunities to develop skills for life, work and learning.
Currie Community High School has been shortlisted for the Sciences, Technologies, Engineering and Maths (STEM) Award thanks to innovative and hands-on initiatives they have in place for young learners to learn subjects in these areas.
All of the finalists will be invited to attend an awards ceremony at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow on Wednesday, 7 June 2017, when judges will unveil the winners of each award category.
Andy Gray, Head of Schools and Lifelong Learning at the City of Edinburgh Council said: “It is a real achievement and being shortlisted shows just what a pool of talented education staff we have in all our schools.”
