A secondary school in Renfrew has been applauded by elected members after receiving a glowing inspection report.

Trinity High School has been recognised by councillors after its strengths were acknowledged by Education Scotland.

Inspectors visited the Glebe Street school earlier this year and assessed it as ‘very good’ across leadership of change and ensuring wellbeing, equality and inclusion, as well as ‘good’ across learning, teaching and assessment and raising attainment and achievement.

The results prompted an outpouring of praise from councillors at Renfrewshire Council’s education and children’s services policy board on Thursday.

Councillor Emma Rodden, board convener and SNP representative for Johnstone North and the surrounding villages, said: “[This is] yet another positive inspection report.

“Well done to the teaching staff, the head teacher and all of the young people and parents in the school community.”

Councillor Lisa-Marie Hughes, an SNP representative for Renfrew North and Braehead, said the grading was “not a surprise at all” as she commended the school.

She said: “When I was reading the report it talks about things like a nurturing ethos, compassionate leadership, empowering staff, supporting young people to be their best, having flexible support for children with additional support needs and that certainly reflects the Trinity that I know.

“It’s obviously in my ward and I have the great pleasure of visiting Trinity sometimes and attending their school shows, and they really do support children to do the best with whatever is the thing that they are best at.

“They are really focused on the whole person and I just want to recognise this report and congratulate the school and the school community, because it’s an excellent report.”

Provost Lorraine Cameron, an SNP representative for Paisley Southwest, added: “As an ex-pupil of Trinity High School, I just want to recognise their achievements, especially going into their 50th year.

“That makes me feel so old, you have got no idea honestly … I want to thank them for all that they’ve ever done for the pupils.”
