Vision
Our vision is to ‘raise the barr’. This means that we support, challenge and inspire every student to achieve the very best they can.
We value relationships and work together to develop resilient and thoughtful young people who are prepared for the future and ready to respond to the challenges of a rapidly changing world. We strive to remove barriers to learning and deliver an aspirational curriculum which ‘raises the barr’ for all.
Values
Guiding us in everything we do are our RESPECT values.
At Barrhead High we ensure our learners are successful, confident, exercise responsibility and contribute to the life of the school and our wider community as global citizens.
We provide young people with a wide range of leadership and wellbeing opportunities. The opportunities help young people to identify and develop their personal skills and qualities which ultimately prepare them for life beyond school.
We gather information on achievements via learner conversations, teachers, Instagram and track all learner participation.
“The school’s vision, which was co-developed with stakeholders, has a strong focus on aspirations for all young people and improving their future life chances. This is captured very well through the school motto #raisethebarr. This vision results in a collective sense of purpose for all staff and young people in the school.”
