Head vows ‘swift’ action after report

A secondary school headteacher has said “swift action” has been taken to tackle issues raised in a critical report.

Inspectors rated Berwickshire High School in Duns as “weak” in three quality indicators and “unsatisfactory” in the remaining category. It followed a visit to the site in February when they talked to parents, carers, pupils and staff.

Headteacher John Clarke said they were “disappointed” with the outcome but had already started to make changes after the report, which also highlighted strengths.
