Education Resources

Schools and educational establishments

Schools

Education Resources is responsible for 123 primary schools, 19 secondary schools and 5 additional support needs schools. These are grouped into 17 learning communities across the four main areas of South Lanarkshire:

  • Cambuslang and Rutherglen
  • Clydesdale
  • East Kilbride
  • Hamilton

Each area is managed by a Head of Education (Area). The objectives and priorities set out in the Education Resources plan also feature in school improvement plans.  A key priority for schools and establishments is the implementation of a Curriculum for Excellence.
