Exceptional leadership is key to the realisation of the Kelso vision. We seek to develop this in our staff, curriculum leaders and in our young people.
We are part of a national excellence group with a select group of Headteachers in Scotland – with the core aim of maximising the positive potential of mobile technology for enhancing Teaching and Learning.
We host leadership development sessions for all our middle and senior leadership staff – focused on driving innovation and improvement. We use Apple Leadership training and coaching from APLS to aid our extended leadership team in developing the best use of iPad to enhance teaching and learning in our classrooms.
Our student leaders attend and contribute at leadership meetings, allowing them to develop their skills in leadership, digital technology and communication.
80% of our staff are Apple Teachers.
We showcase our progress to other schools in the Borders, Scotland and across the UK.
Our leadership team use iPad as their core means of facilitating development sessions remotely using Teams. iPad has allowed us to collaborate and engage creatively.
Our vision and the power of technology to bring it to life has opened up opportunities for active learning, with Kelso High School linking closely with our associated Primary schools, our community and other partners.
