A Scots secondary school battling staff shortages has been ordered to make improvements after being rated weak in all but one category.
Education watchdogs said leadership failings across Forres Academy on the Moray coast were "impacting on improving outcomes for young people".
A report found there had been no steady improvement in attainment over the last five years up to 2021 for the lowest attaining 20% and the middle attaining 60% of learners.
A consistently low percentage of young people have achieved five or more qualifications at SCQF at level 3 or better over the last five years.
Performance in numeracy was singled out with the school said to be performing significantly lower or much lower than comparators.
