Horrible mental support
The first four years here were one of the worst moments for my life mentally since I was bullied almost daily and whenever I said anything about it they would always say they will deal with it and not do anything about it and just acted like as if I was lying. Some teachers are friendly and nice but there are others as well that are the polar opposite, one day I caught one of my teachers I had when coming back from them asking me to do something outside of class I seen them that they were talkin...

I hate Barrhead high
The teachers refuse you to go to the toilet like what if a girl is on their period and they get refused to go? I walked out bc I needed the toilet and I was refused but I got up and went anyway and I got a detention but I was bursting for the toilet like how unfair is that and they don’t care about your mental health, they just want you to do the work that’s all they care about, that school has drained me so so much and I’m still at the school to this day and they don’t deal with bullying proper...

Awful school
Puts misbehaving juniors into senior classes disrupting everyone in the corridor. Don't take mental health seriously and if you are late, taking days off or failing because of your mental health its your fault entirely. Bullying is never dealt with correctly, victims are always the ones who get blamed. Overall staff are bad at teaching and dealing with problems and are snarky to parents. Staff also pass information on to parents that have been reported by other students without even trying to fi...

Personal experience
Personally my experience with the school was not the best, some of the worst years of my life. Many of the teachers are great and try to help as much as possible however the negatives outweigh the positives. Many teachers don't do anything about bullying and often blame the victim instead of the bullying (personal experience). Mental health issues are taken very lightly, it took many years and very severe actions to actually get any help from the school. The school defends people it shouldn't and blames others. The new building is much better than the old one though, mostly clean and taken care of. It's a shame that it has so many negatives.

Don't reccomend it really
Horrible mental health support yet act as if they care. They don't care about you unless you have high grades, regardless of the reasons you're failing they'll say they'll help you and then when you ask for that help they will decline it or acknowledge it and then never do anything about it after saying they will. Staff are cheeky towards parents and don't do anything about injustices in class, and don't do anything during bullying cases. Nice new school but the people within it are the problem
