There is a very strong strategic drive in Kirkintilloch Learning Community.

The link Quality Improvement Officer, Educational Psychologist and Headteachers across five associated primaries work together to support the mprofessional learning of all colleagues.

A culture of trust is very evident, with colleagues openly talking about how this has positively impacted on their professional learning experiences.

Staff support one another in their professional learning: modelling, observing, sharing and reflecting together to improve and develop.

Staff are more empowered as a result of the model of professional learning embraced in Kirkintilloch.

They are encouraged to ask questions and think creatively to develop their own learning to enhance the learning experiences of the young people in their care.

Collaborative learning is a key strength of the Kirkintilloch community and the GTCS team experienced an excellent level of engagement from all staff.
