Tweeddale Primary School

Tweeddale Primary School is performing well overall, with a 'Good' rating across all inspected areas. The school fosters a caring and safe environment where pupils are happy and eager to learn. Relationships among pupils are positive, underpinned by the recently introduced 'ASPIRE' values, which have contributed to improvements in pupil behaviour.
