We were delighted to be nominated at the Scottish Association of Minority Ethic Educators (SAMEE) Awards 2026. This is in recognition of the work we have undertaken as a school, and as a Learning Community, in Anti Racist Education.
We were nominated in two categories:
Outstanding Contribution to Anti-Racist Practice in the Classroom (in partnership with our nine associated Primary Schools)
Outstanding Young Leader Award
It was a privilege to have the work of our Learning Community recognised. We unfortunately did not win either of the categories we were nominated in, but our young people gained a commendation from the judging panel for the work they have led across our school community. We are delighted and enormously proud. It was a brilliant evening, and we left feeling very inspired! We already planning our next steps to continue to develop our Anti Racist practice to ensure we include and support everyone in our community.
