These include providing the support and environment needed for you to perform your job effectively and develop your abilities. Our dedication is demonstrated by the council's achievement of the Investors in People Standard, and we continually strive for higher standards in service delivery and improvement.

The James Young High School is a six-year comprehensive school in Livingston South, serving the communities of Bankton, Bellsquarry, Dedridge, and Williamston primary schools.
