School Handbook

Welcome to Dalkeith High School’s Handbook. The information provided in this handbook not only offers an insight into our school vision and values, but also highlights the wide range of opportunities available to the young people who attend Dalkeith High School.

I took up the post as Head Teacher in August 2022 and I have been overwhelmed by how welcome I have been made to feel, across the entire learning community. I am very proud to be given the opportunity to lead such a great school. It is my hope that we continue to build on the school’s strengths but also continue to make improvements in the best interest of our learners.

Dalkeith High School offers all young people a safe and caring environment in which they can develop their academic, creative and personal skills. Ultimately, we are ambitious and aspirational for all of our young people. We strive to ensure they achieve the best possible outcomes and challenge them to consider the endless possibilities open to them, as they consider their career pathways after school.

We are very proud of our school and we would love you to join us.

We hope that the information provided in this handbook is helpful. However, if you have any further queries about any aspect of the school, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Yours sincerely,

Emma Ormerod
Head Teacher
