Stonelaw High School

About Us

 

Stonelaw High School is a sixth year non-denominational comprehensive school serving the Rutherglen area of Glasgow.  Pupils entering first year come from seven associate primary schools.  At Stonelaw we work hard on maintaining close and productive links with our primaries.  In recent sessions we have received significant numbers of placing requests from out with our catchment area.  We are a school of approximately 1000 learners and 68.5 staff.   We also have a number of support staff.

The school is fully committed to meeting the needs of all young people and to providing a wide range of opportunities for all members of our school community.  Supporting learning is the responsibility of all members of staff.  The school has a broad and balanced curriculum.  Pupils in S1 from August follow a programme of study that reflects the principles of curriculum for excellence.  We are continuing to develop the experience of your young people in the Broad General Education supporting their learning with Skills for Learning Life and Work which draws on the experiences of a range of curricular areas.  Option choices are taken at the end of S2 and S4.  Currently pupils study 8 subjects in S3 as well as the Skills for learning Life and Work option.  Young people then reduce to five subjects as they enter S5.  All pupils in S1-S5 follow a planned programme of Personal Social and Health Education. 

The Core Management Team consists of the Head Teacher and four Depute Head Teachers.  The Extended Management Team has 5 PTs and 5 FHs.  We also have 3 staff leading on the Scottish Attainment Challenge and 2 staff leading on PEF. 

Pupil Support is staffed with 6 PTs Pupil Support and 1 PT Additional Support Needs.   The ASN department is supported by 2 FTE of teaching staff and 6 support staff (5.6 FTE).

There is a wide range of extra-curricular activities available in the school.  The school has a highly successful Expressive Arts Faculty that support a range of concerts during the session as well as an end of term school show.  We have a number of successful sports teams and we provide a number of opportunities for our young people to develop a range of skills, qualities and attributes.

 We have a strong Parent Council who provide a good vehicle for partnership with our parents.
