This exceptional milestone represents the school’s best results for an A2 cohort since 2020, a remarkable accomplishment that reflects both their exceptional ability and the dedication of their teachers.

Mrs Louise Aitcheson, the Principal, expressed immense pride in the pupils’ accomplishments, saying,

“I am incredibly proud of our pupils’ achievements in their A Levels and all that they have achieved at Dalriada School. These results are a reflection of their wholehearted commitment and determination to excel. They have worked exceptionally hard and I am delighted to see that effort rewarded. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to our dedicated staff, whose expertise, constant encouragement and unwavering support have guided our pupils throughout their studies. The close partnership between our pupils, staff and families is at the heart of our school’s success, and today’s results are a proud moment of celebration for the entire Dalriada community. As our leavers take their next steps – whether progressing to university, beginning apprenticeships or entering the workplace, I wish them every success and happiness for the future. Remember that once a Dalriad, always a Dalriad; may they continue to flourish and grow wherever their journey takes them”.
