Penicuik ,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Beeslack Community High School
website. You will find lots of information about the school if you are a parent,
pupil or a member of the wider school community. Beeslack Community High School
is a relatively small secondary school with a school roll of approximately 740
pupils. We are smaller than your average secondary school and as a result we
know our pupils well. We offer a curriculum which is designed around the
principles of Curriculum for Excellence to meet the needs of all of our learners
and offers opportunities for our young people to develop their skills for
learning, life and work. As well as the formal curriculum, we offer a wide
variety of exciting extra-curricular activities that develop our pupils'
creativity, talents and passion for learning. We also offer pupils the
opportunity to extend their learning beyond school on excursions and
expeditions. We have links with a school in Malawi and have run a number of
expeditions for students, as well as trips to Europe. The school is situated in
the beautiful grounds of a spacious 17 acre site and is a highly attractive and
inspiring setting for our pupils to learn and develop. As a community school we
have strong links and partnerships with the community and offer a wide range of
activities for members of the local area. At Beeslack Community High School we
set high expectations for all of our pupils and work with partner agencies to
support our young people. We aim to set high academic goals, whilst being an
inclusive school that values all of its pupils' contributions and talents. I
hope you find the website informative. If you would like any further
information, or you would like to arrange a visit please contact the school
directly.
