Headteacher's Welcome
Dear Parent/Carer/Learner/Visitor,
Thank you for taking the time to visit the Caledonia High School website.
We are delighted to welcome you to Caledonia High School. This move marks an important and exciting milestone for our school community. While our school has a new name and a new home, our commitment to our young people, our high expectations and our shared values continue to build on the strong foundations of Inverkeithing High School.
At Caledonia High School, our motto — Ad astra per aspera (To the stars through difficulties) — captures our belief that challenge, perseverance and ambition are central to success. Our vision is to create a community where everyone feels included, respected, safe and nurtured, and where consistently high‑quality learning and teaching develops confident, ambitious young people who are well prepared for life beyond school.
Our work is underpinned by clear values that shape daily life in our school:
- Ambitious – we are determined to achieve success, set high expectations for ourselves and take responsibility for our learning.
- Respectful – we respect ourselves, each other and our community, valuing difference and recognising everyone’s contribution.
- Kind – we are caring, showing empathy and compassion through our words and actions, and creating an inclusive, supportive and nurturing environment.
This website acts as an important portal for sharing information with our young people, parents and carers, staff and wider partners. Within the site you will find up‑to‑date communications, including links to our social media account, newsletters and subject information. You will also find key school documents such as our School Calendar, School Improvement Plan and Standards and Quality Report.
As you explore our website, we hope you gain a sense of the positive, inclusive and aspirational culture we value at Caledonia High School. We look forward to working in partnership with you as we continue to build the future of Caledonia High School together.
Mr G Belford
Headteacher, Caledonia High School
