That this House congratulates the pupils, teachers, staff, and especially the Head Teacher, Bruce Malone, of St. Andrew's Secondary School, Carntyne, in Glasgow East constituency, on being awarded five `excellents' by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education; notes that this is more than any other mainstream secondary school in the state or private sector since these ratings were introduced last summer; further notes that the school's catchment areas include Cranhill, Easterhouse, Ruchazie and Shettleston; acknowledges that background need not hinder what pupils and schools can achieve; and further notes that this five star report is yet another example of the on-going renaissance of the East End of Glasgow.
