A Word from Miss Cook, Head Teacher

19 March 2026

Staffing  

Following interviews on Monday and Tuesday, Bobby Douglas is our preferred candidate based on pre-employment checks.

PT Guidance Post – interviews will take place for this on Monday.

The PE post is being leeted and interviews for this will take place after the Easter break.

ESgoil- S4-S6

It has been great to see so many pupils attending supported study sessions after school. Esgoil is also running a programme over the Easter break and I would encourage our seniors to sign up for this too to support their revision. Pupils will need their GLOW details to do this and they can get these from any of their subject teachers if they don’t already have this.

Uniform Consultation

The outcome of this will be shared with parents/carers and pupils at the beginning of next week.

School Improvement Planning for Session 2026-27

Thank you to the parents/carers who took the time to complete this.  We have also spoken directly with some parents/carers who left specific comments so we could get some more information from them. Overall we got a 13% response from parents/carers to this survey. Although such a small % return rate means that it is not truly representative of the Knox Academy parent/carer group,  we still value the comments and responses made to help us plan for next session.
