Sad Mum
This school is only interested in you as a pupil if your parents are affluent or you have a background in social work. If your hard working and fly under the radar they are simply not interested in any of your worries. After school closures during covid or child became withdrawn and struggled. But with our help managed to gain 3 national 5’s. This was with OUR help. Tried calling school on numerous occasions to meet with guidance staff and only had one meeting which was utterly useless. Last year after going into school our child was told by a very helpful teacher infront of the whole class that they would be better off not being there. My child walked out of school and irrationally left school forever. We haven’t received a phone call from anyone to ask if they are ok, if they have had anything in place. Suicide rates are very high at the moment and I think this school in particular should take it very seriously, please keep a eye on your pupils who DO NOT act out and quietly go about their days. These are the children with REAL mental health problems. Our saving grace has been the team are skills Scotland. Very sad.
Home School your kids.
Awful, horrendous place filled with awful, horrendous people, not much has changed in the last 20 years they are still run by lunatics and god only knows what kind of ideas they put into the minds of impressionable kids these days.
Amazing school
The school is amazing and can help students in many different ways. The staff is excellent and really feels like a caring and safe place. The only reason i give this school a 4 star rating is because i wish it had more subjects, eg, theatre, psychology etc.
Only your appearance matters ft.MAPS
Many of my friends at this school have had uncomfortable interactions with staff (M.A.P TYPE STUFF)and guidance simply don't help. The school only cares about statistics and how they look and because of this you might find the head following you around the school because you have white laces.the staff target kids based off appearance and all this does is teach the kids to judge others based off appearance to. Not to mention their recent choice to separate kids based off sex for PSE which is so backwards.save your kids the trauma and pain and don't go here.
Full of MAPS and ignorance
The guidance don't care about your problems all they do is gaslight you into shutting up.too many teachers that are into minors a bit too much and only care about how they look like on the out side I've gone here for the past five years and it's just gotten worse they believe that if a school looks good it is good but that's simply not true.honestly don't go they are all about appearance and don't do anything to help you with real serious problems.id go into more detail but the sight states I can't because I guess it's too gross just go somewhere else,okay?.
Interesting
I used to go to this school and honestly it seems to have got a lot better but when I was there there was such a mix of backgrounds. The dancing they do is amazing
