SCOTLAND’S national deaf school has been ordered to improve its leadership after inspectors found important weaknesses in the way it was being run.

Key strengths of the schools were recorded as the “outstanding quality” of children’s experiences in the nursery and the contribution of specialist staff and residential staff.

The school has now been given a year to improve.
