Cademuir International School was a specialist school in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The school, founded by Robert Mulvey in 1990, was created to serve high ability learners and underachievers with high potential.〔(You and Yours interview )〕 Latterly based at Crawfordton House, Moniaive, a listed building, it previously operated from near Peebles. In 2002, the school was ranked second of 418 schools in Scotland for Higher Grade results.〔(BBC league table )〕 In 1999, only 31% of fourth-year pupils gained five or more Standard Grades, as compared with 98% of those at George Watson's College, Edinburgh. Following controversial stories in the tabloid press, in 2004, an HMI report criticised the school, "particularly in the care and welfare areas of child protection, vetting of staff and restraint".〔(HMI report )〕 A follow-up inspection criticised a "lack of stable and effective strategic leadership" on 13 September 2005.〔(HMI follow-up report )〕 In September 2006 the school went out of business due to financial difficulties. Its roll had dropped from 100 pupils to only 34 at the time of its closure.〔 〕 The school buildings were then placed on the market with an asking price of £1.3 million. ==See also== * Blairmore School * Oxenfoord Castle School * Rannoch School * St Margaret's School, Edinburgh 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cademuir International School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
