Dalziel Pupils Celebrate Education Scotland Inspection Report
We are delighted the report praises our confident and well-mannered young people and the drive and commitment of the head teacher, senior leadership team and the staff. Education Scotland also recognise the schools very strong positive ethos and its outstanding attainment and achievement.
