Staffing Updates

We are delighted to welcome back Mrs Alison Rooney to the faculty.  Mrs Rooney has returned following a lengthy illness, we wish are well and are very glad to have her back with us.  Mrs Rooney will be delivering both English and Spanish when our young people return.

We are also delighted to welcome Mrs Frances Fraser to the department.  Mrs Fraser will be working in the English Department and we are delighted to have her on board.  Mrs Fraser looks forward to meeting pupils and parents and getting to know the wonderful community that is Taylor High School.

Spanish Speaking Practice – S.Q.A. National Qualifications

We have invited some students into school to give them an opportunity to practise their Spanish speaking with one of the Spanish teachers.  Teachers will also post reminders on their MS Teams pages.  This is a great opportunity to improve your skills before the assessment.  Please make the most of this chance by coming with your materials and in full school uniform.  We can’t wait to see you !
