I am looking forward to welcoming everyone back to Balwearie next week after a well deserved summer break.
In advance of the new session I wanted to make sure all families are aware of some of our key people, how to contact the school, how we communicate and our school uniform policy.
I encourage you all to follow us on our social media channels, website and app to keep up to date with all the day to day goings on.
I look forward to working with you all over the course of the coming school session.
Mr McNeil - Rector

Introducing some key people at Balwearie
Our Uniform Policy
Our expectations are clearly stated on our website. Jeans, hoodies, short skirts, crop-tops etc are not part of our uniform and we shall engage proportionately with young people not meeting our expectations. Please call the school should you require any clarification.
We also have a school shop with a full stock of uniform to support any family requiring support with the cost of the school day.
Please see the following page on our website for full uniform details - https://www.balweariehigh.co.uk/Parents/Dress-Code

Some learners may also link to the Pupil Support department for more a more targeted level of support.
