Your Child’s Study Materials

In addition to the materials and information they receive in class, your child can access materials using their Glow account. Once in Glow, each class and each subject has materials in two places: Sharepoint and Teams. If your child is having any trouble accessing these, they should speak with Mrs Cooper (librarian) or their Guidance teacher for help. For more information about your child’s Glow account, click here.

BBC Bitesize

BBC Bitesize is a great online resource for helping you to study.  Make sure you are on the Scottish pages because the curriculum in England and Wales is different.  Browse here.

Parentzone Scotland provides information and advice about education in Scotland. It includes practical ideas to support learning at home in a variety of curriculum areas, along with information on additional support needs, and tips on how parents can get involved in their child’s school and education.
