There is an excellent extra-curricular programme within the school, offering an extensive array of wider achievement opportunities, especially within the arts and sports. The school also has positive links with parents and is committed to building up partnerships with local businesses and the community. The values of Portobello High School are rooted in the collective vision of ' Achieving Together ' which drives our continuous efforts to enhance the educational experience for all young people. We focus on key priorities of raising attainment and achievement, fostering inclusion and wellbeing, and advancing learning, teaching, assessment, and skills. We want our young people to enjoy their learning and to be actively involved and participating in engaging learning activities. To support this, we are one of the first schools in Scotland to introduce a mobile phone policy which incorporates an innovative phone pouch system. The department is well resourced and accommodated, offering all SQA Mathematics courses from National 4 to Advanced Higher and also presenting learners for Applications of Mathematics. We pride ourselves in having strong relationships with our young people and put their achievement and wellbeing at the heart of all we do.
