Welcome to Brechin High School

Brechin High School is a friendly, inclusive community where every young person is valued, supported and encouraged to thrive. Our vision places learning, wellbeing, and resilience at the centre of school life, helping our students grow in confidence and succeed both now and in the future.

Our school values, Respectful, Ambitious and Responsible, shape how we work together and the kind of school we want to be. We know young people do their best when they feel they belong, when expectations are clear, and when they feel part of a community that believes in them.

We work closely with families, partners and our associated primary schools to make sure every young person has the opportunities and encouragement they need. In class, through leadership roles, or in our wide range of clubs, teams and wider‑achievement activities, pupils are supported to find their strengths, build confidence and contribute to our school community.

We celebrate success in all its forms,  from academic progress to creativity, sport, leadership and community involvement. Our staff are dedicated to providing an engaging curriculum, a nurturing environment and a wide variety of experiences that help young people achieve and grow.

Our weekly newsletter, available on this website, gives a snapshot of life in Brechin High School and highlights the achievements and activities taking place each week. I hope it gives you a clear sense of what matters to us: high expectations, belief in every young person’s potential, and a school community that is proud, supportive and united.

If you would like any further information, please get in touch.

#ProudToBeBrechin

As pupils at Brechin High School we value being in school where we are respected. Coming to school we can be sure that we are in a safe environment and a building where we are cared for and our education is valued. Together pupils work hard to ensure our school is a centre of excellence and wellbeing and only the best is good enough and as a rights respecting school pupils welcome everyone into our building and embrace them in our community. 

 This year we have seen Brechin thrive and be recognised as a school where you can guarantee a path that will give you a great start in life no matter what route you wish to take in your future. So for us as pupils at Brechin we are incredibly proud of our work and wish it to continue for years to come.
