Crieff High School is a 6 year non-denominational school within Perth & Kinross with a current roll of 601 pupils. Our journey in the SCQF School Ambassadors Programme started in May 2021 when Donnie Wood met virtually with the Senior Leadership Team to receive training on the SCQF and the Ambassador programme. Our SLT identified very quickly that the work and progress to pupil pathways already undertaken clearly fitted in with the Ambassador Programme and we joined as the 132nd school in the SCQF School Ambassador Programme.
