Pupil Support

Barrhead High will once again be providing support for pupils during the lockdown period.  
 
If you feel that you might be in need of a chat, please get in touch with me at:
 
 
If you leave a message with a contact number and a time (or day) that would suit you best, I will get back to you as soon as I can. My working days are normally Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, but appointments can be arranged for other days or times if necessary. Pupils have the option of coming into school, speaking on the phone or arranging a ‘walk and talk’ around Cowan Park.     
 
The staff team at Barrhead High is committed to supporting our pupils, so please do not hesitate to get in touch if you feel the need.  
 
best wishes,
Raymond Weir

Online Learning Support

In preparation for learning moving online next week, please be aware that a lot of online support can be found on our Digital Learning Webpage.

On this page you will find information on how students can access Glow, download Microsoft Office for FREE,  Satchel (formerly Show My Homework), Google Classroom and how to keep your child safe while they are online.

Finally, if any student has difficulty accessing the online learning: whether that is having access to a device, accessing the internet, troubleshooting an error message, forgotten passwords or simply not getting access to the correct lessons, then please contact us using our ICT Support form:

 

S4 Assessment Calendar – Term 3

Please find the new Assessment Calendar for Term 3 for S4 pupils sitting National 5 qualifications.

This Calendar features All Assessments scheduled for next term including a final assessment window in the weeks before the Easter Holidays. This assessment calendar will conclude the N5 Course Assessment for this session.

Learners have been issued with a paper copy of this timetable and should make a note of assessments that are relevant to them and continue to prepare to be successful.

We hope that by seeing the N5 Assessments for Term 3 in advance, young people will be able to prepare effectively and manage their time and efforts accordingly. Thanks you for your support in ensuring all of our learners are achieving their full potential.

If you have any questions about the assessments included in this calendar please don’t hesitate to get on touch. The Final Assessment Window scheduled for the end of term 3 will be issued in full to pupils and parents/carers following the Christmas holidays.

Kind regards:

Mr Beaton
