About the school:

A key feature in the work of the school is encouraging each young student to take increasing responsibility for his/her own life and learning. We provide as many opportunities as possible for this. Biggar High School offers a systematic progress from First Year towards the point when a pupil leaves school as a young adult, prepared to make his or her own decisions and able to live with the consequences of these decisions.

‘Responsibility’ includes responsibility for learning. The school is committed to helping every youngster to achieve his or her full potential in terms of examination success but just as important in every other aspect of life.

We work to ensure that teaching is of the highest quality and employ a wide range of strategies to support our learners. We want our pupils to become successful, independent, lifelong learners.

School is only one of the influences on this process of development. We will only achieve the best for our pupils in partnership with parent and the community at large.
