Celebrating success in our schools

The annual Standards and Quality report for the city's education services has been published and highlights another incredible set of achievements to celebrate with our young people and school staff across the city.

The report is a chance to take time to reflect on the work of the council's education services and how the services, schools and staff are really making an impact and difference to the lives of Glasgow's children, young people and their families.

Introducing the report in his new role as City Convener for Education, Skills & Early Years, Councillor Chris Cunningham is delighted with the achievements of Glasgow's young people.

He said: "My title embodies all the elements that are at the very heart of education in our city - children, young people and skills.

"I am passionate about this city, the council and our citizens and I am passionate about the education of every child and young person in Glasgow.

"Attainment and achievement is at an all-time high in the city, school attendance is up and exclusions are down - this is all due to the commitment and dedication of teachers, school staff and education officials - and of course the pupils!

"I'm committed to be the voice of education in Glasgow and I will do all that I can to make sure that we continue to meet the needs of every child, offering them the quality education they deserve, regardless of their background or circumstances."
