We would like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New year for 2021. Just as the new year has arrived, so too have more coronavirus restrictions. These are trying times for everyone, but we are working together to provide support for all pupils.
Arrangements for the Start of the New Term
The Scottish Government have announced that schools and centres will open only for childcare for key worker and vulnerable children between Wednesday 6th January and Friday 8th January (primary nursery classes will be open from 5th January). The statement from the FM also makes it clear that from 11th January – 1st February there will be a universal provision of online learning for all students, with the exception of those previously highlighted Key Worker children and those in the vulnerable group, who will be supported in person within our establishment.
REMOTE LEARNING
Below is a pdf file about information regarding remote learning. Pupils will be operating through GLOW>Microsoft Teams.
We are here to help! Please do not hesitate to contact the school. Stay home and Stay safe everyone.
During the last week before we finished up for the Christmas Holidays, we have prepared a short video to say ‘Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year’ to all of our Taylor High School Community.
Pupils and staff from the Music department have performed and edited the lyrics of the original ‘Fairytale of New York” to create fun and topical ‘Lockdown Lyrics’ to spread some Christmas cheer during this unprecedented time.
In the beginning, we shared a number of events that Taylor Pupils were involved in to raise money for charity or to help those who are in extra need due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
These things include:
We are so proud of all our pupils at Taylor who have made a difference to so many people this Christmas.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Well done everyone, Stay Safe!
Today marks a very sad day for all staff and pupils at Taylor High as we said goodbye to our wonderful and thoughtful Headteacher, Mr McCormick.
Mr McCormick has been Headteacher of Taylor High School for 23 years and will be greatly missed by the whole Taylor Community.
We gathered outside, socially distanced, to clap our goodbyes and wish him well for whatever the future may hold. We celebrated with a fantastic cake made by the Home Economics department and some bagpipes. We found it difficult but not impossible to give Mr McCormick the send off he deserves.
Everyone wishes you well and Good Luck for the future.
We are very excited to announce an upcoming live broadcast for football fans everywhere!

In this event, Gareth Southgate is joined by Sharky, to reflect on the experiences and lessons of Gareth’s career. He will share how young people can thrive and make the most of their lives, by being brave, being kind and following their dreams.

He has represented England 57 times, captained both Aston Villa and Middlesbrough to League Cup final success, and is currently England manager of the senior men’s team.
