The Parent Council are planning to hold a series of meetings throughout the year. More information can be found on the Parent Council’s page.
The Parent Council would like to extend a warm welcome to all parents of Barrhead High students and look forward to meeting with many of you at their first meeting on Monday, 9th September 2013. This will be held in the school library starting at 7pm.
After a brilliant season last year – reaching the Senior Boys Renfrewshire & East Schools Cup final – the basketball club is back.
Every Thursday, starting on Thursday, 5th September at 3.45pm in the games hall.
All year groups welcome.
See you there.
Mr Boag
I stood at the school gates this morning and welcomed pupil after pupil arriving in full school uniform … exactly what we had been asking for – all-black shoes, appropriate skirts (for most) and blazers. The impression they made was stunning. I was very proud of them.
I have already received several messages and emails from people outside the school who had noticed and were complimenting us. I even had a pupil asking how quickly would a blazer be delivered if they ordered today – I think the few without the full uniform were feeling left out!!
I would like to thank all the parents for their superb support, and all the pupils for working with us to achieve this. I had a real sense of the pupils being not only proud of their school but also quite pleased with themselves. I am sure that this will encourage them to have a real confidence in themselves and and their school.
Thank you to you all – the results are fantastic!

Sports for all ages is back.
If you wish to get involved with a club or just take your first step towards a healthier lifestyle, then have a look at what is on offer here.
As we communicated to pupils and parents last term, we are making a concentrated effort to raise the standard of uniform this session. We want everybody to see Barrhead High is a school we are all proud of.
We have asked all pupils to come back in August with the full uniform including a badged blazer, all-black shoes and girls’ skirts to be of an appropriate length (not more than 2 inches above the knee).
To assist with that we had all pupils measured for blazers in June with Mans World, the official suppliers for ERC (shop in Giffnock). Many have already purchased and collected their blazers through this arrangement – thank you to all of you who did that.
There are now only 4 shopping days left. Please ensure that you are ready to return on Wednesday wearing the full uniform and please do not buy items that will not be appropriate to our dress code. The uniform information and the latest Newsletter gives more information.
If we all work together on this we will help raise the profile of Barrhead High School in the community as an outstanding school!
Thank you
Mr Sinclair
Congratulations to all pupils who have contributed to another great set of SQA results for Barrhead High School.
S4 achieved our best ever percentage of pupils attaining 5 or more Int 2s (43%).
S5 achieved our best ever 1 or more Highers (53%) and 3 or more Highers (30%). Although they did not quite match last year’s S5 in their record-breaking 5 or more Highers for quantity, the quality this year was superb. Five pupils gained 5 A-pass Highers – another new record!
Our S6 also set a new record with over 17% attaining at least one Advanced Higher.
A special mention for Robert Downie who crowned his 6 years at Barrhead High with another 2 Highers and an Advanced Higher.
We are hoping Robert and some of our pupils may feature on Reporting Scotland at 6.30pm tonight (Tues) and in the national press tomorrow (the Herald and the Scotsman) as well as in our local Barrhead News.
A big well done to all the staff who worked hard with the pupils and to the parents for their support.
Mr Sinclair
SQA results will be arriving on Tuesday 6 August 2013. Contact the school office on 0141 577 2100 with any concerns or requests for appeals. There will also be senior members of staff in school that day to deal with any particular issues.
Changes to option choices can be discussed on Thursday 8 August from 0900 hours – 1500 hours (on a first come, first served basis) and again senior staff will be available to help.
