About Holyrood Secondary School

Holyrood Secondary School is a Roman Catholic denominational school located in the Southside of Glasgow. The school has a current roll of 2,253, incorporating nine primary feeder schools. As of September 2022, 45 per cent of pupils lived in the 20 percent most deprived data zones in Scotland. In September 2022, 35 per cent of pupils were registered for free school meals.

How and why did you decide to use ReadingWise as part of the plan?

"Having previously used ReadingWise, we re-established contact with ReadingWise representative Caroline Shepherd who provided support and guidance on how we could integrate this more fully across targeted intervention classes. As we monitored progress, it became clear that ReadingWise was an excellent fit alongside various interventions within our targeted literacy support approach, and would ensure sustainability for learning over the next two to three years."
