A reminder to all senior students and their parents, that our Higher Education Information Evening will take place on Thursday, 21st August.
If you have questions about entry requirements, course outlines or finance then come along to the Ralston house area where representatives from universities & colleges will be able to answer your questions.
We look forward to welcoming you from 6.30pm onwards.
Do you have an interest in basketball and want to start playing? Come along to the Games Hall every Monday after school to Miss Walker’s basketball club. Please be ready in your PE kit ready to begin at 3.45pm and we will be finished by 4.45pm. Girls of all ages and abilities welcome.
If you would like to come and speak to me to find out more information you will find me in Geography room 37, or just come along on Mondays.
Almost every pupil turned up for the first day back in full uniform and it made for an impressive sight. Once again the local community were noticing and praising them and Barrhead High is rightly being recognised as an excellent school with excellent young folk.
A big thank you to all pupils and parents for supporting this.
The new PE polo shirts looked great. The uptake has been so good that Mans World have run out of stock … but more are on order.
If anyone has not yet managed to get the appropriate uniform or is having any difficulty doing so, please speak to your Pupil Support teacher or Year Head.
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.
If any of our senior students have concerns over changing subjects or changing levels, given recent examination results, then Mrs Crawford is available to discuss this today and tomorrow from 12 – 2 pm.
Please pop into school if you need to see Mrs Crawford.
The SQA examination results will be available from Tuesday, 5th August. Mrs Crawford (Depute Head) will be available all of Tuesday to discuss any queries regarding SQA results or subject level changes.
Please contact the school office in the normal way if you have any queries regarding your results.

Only 2 weeks after winning the Voluntary Group of the Year category of the official East Renfrewshire Volunteer Awards 2014 organised by local MP Jim Murphy and MSP Ken MacIntosh, the Young Team were back in action cleaning up graffiti.
Over the session they have been involved in a number of projects which have helped give something back to the community of Barrhead and the East Renfrewshire area.
A big well done and thank you to all the young folk who have participated and a special thank you to our Campus Cop, Alan Walker, for leading this project.
