Embedded Files
At Musselburgh Grammar School the characteristics we would like to develop in our staff and young people centre on our values of honesty, determination and respect. We are at the beginning of a journey in creating a skills framework linked to our school values. To support this we have partnered with SDS to utilise their Meta-Skills tool-kit to enhance our focus on skills development across our curriculum.
The aim: to embed the meta-skills framework across Musselburgh Grammar School next session, with clear links to our school values.
