Barrhead High School has attained its best ever SQA results in three out of the four key measures.
Over 50% of the S4 yeargroup gained 5 or more Int 2 passes, up from last year’s best to date of 43% – a tremendous rise and improvement!
34% of S5 pupils achieved 3 or more Higher passes, beating last year’s best ever of 31%.
14% of the S5 pupils passed 5 Highers – a rise of 2% from last year but not quite matching our best ever 15% in 2012. Again 5 pupils achieved 5 A passes in their Highers.
25% of our S6 yeargroup passed at least one Advanced Higher beating last year’s best ever of 18%.
These are fantastic results rewarding the hard work of both pupils and staff with the support of our parents. Well done to all of you. We are very proud of our young people and I am sure you all are too.
