School desk goes missing

It has come to our attention that one of our desks may have disappeared from our school premises. We have reports that it is being used to support teaching and learning at our Olympic medal winning "Glasgow School Of Sport".

We do hope that the desk is returned to us safe and well.

Education Scotland Produce Inspection Report On

Bellahouston Academy

The Education Scotland (HMIE) Report on Bellahouston Academy can be accessed by following the link below. The report itself is a very good one - indeed, it is one of the best to have been produced on a Glasgow Secondary in recent years. All staff are delighted at the contents and I know that they will see the report as a fair and representative reflection of their commitment and dedication over the years. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all parents and carers for their ongoing support as the school continues to move from strength to strength. I would be delighted to hear from any parent/carer who may have a comment or observation to make about the report itself.

Again, many thanks for your support.

Change to school Uniform

18 May 2012

Dear Parent/Carer,

Bellahouston Academy School Dress Code

Bellahouston Academy has a well established and well adhered to school dress code and school uniform policy. Our pupils are rightly proud of their uniform as it projects an ethos of identity, equality and professionalism. The majority of our pupils wear their uniform with pride and are a credit to the school, the community and their families.

In recent times, the school uniform has become somewhat complicated with several versions of the same item available from our supplier. To this end, I set our Pupil Council the task of conducting a review and consultation on our uniform in an effort to simplify, modernise and improve the items which make up our uniform. The Pupil Council devised a questionnaire which was completed by all of our pupils in an attempt to gain feedback about what they felt the school uniform should be.

As a result of the feedback which we received from pupils as well as the Parent Council, a black blazer with the school badge will be a compulsory part of the Bellahouston Academy school uniform from August 2012. From August, the uniform will consist of:

Black blazer with school badge
White shirt
School tie
Black trousers/skirt
Black shoes
Black cardigan/jumper with school logo

For all pupils, the blazer and school tie are the minimum compulsory requirement.

As ever, we will closely monitor the school uniform and will contact parents/carers if their child does not meet our expectations in this regard.

More information will follow about the school uniform, including details of possible financial assistance for parents/carers in certain circumstances.

I am grateful for the support of parents in maintaining appropriate, safe and high standards of school dress and for working with us to ensure that Bellahouston Academy continues to deliver a high quality education for all of our pupils.

Yours sincerely,

Ian Anderson,

Head Teacher
