About the School:
St Andrew’s and St Bride's High School aims to provide an atmosphere of love, care and understanding where the pupils and staff share a truly Christian concern for one another. We are a school which fosters good discipline and a positive ethos where the school works in partnership with the home and the Church.
We are proud of the achievements of all our pupils. We try our best to give every pupil the opportunity to develop his or her talents to the full by offering education of the highest quality.
St Andrew’s and St Bride’s is part of a Learning Community with six associated primaries:
* St Hilary’s
* St Kenneth’s
* St Leonard’s
* St Louise
* Our Lady of Lourdes
* St Vincent’s
Our purpose built school building was opened in August 2007 and is attractively placed close to East Kilbride Village. We have very good accommodation and all our classrooms provide a rich learning environment for pupils and throughout the school we have extensive provision to display examples of pupil work to celebrate their success and achievements. We have excellent provision for indoor PE facilities with a large Games Hall and two gymnasiums. The Headteacher is well supported by six Depute Headteachers, 12 Heads of Department/Principal Teachers of Curriculum and 8 Principal Teachers of Guidance.
As a school we aim to be a Catholic, Christian inclusive school community in which the Gospel values permeate all that we do. St Andrew’s and St Bride’s High School meets the needs of all pupils by providing a pathway for young people to achieve their potential through an inspiring environment, the provision of excellent learning and teaching and an ethos of hard work. It is a community in which everyone works in partnership to provide an education of the highest quality. Staff have very strong relationships with parents and are dedicated to ensuring that all pupils thrive in an environment which nurtures and supports while equipping them with the necessary skills for a full and productive life. The leadership of the headteacher and other senior staff ensures that all stakeholders feel valued and are encouraged to make full, worthwhile contributions, to the development of initiatives, policies and procedures.
We have a very active and supportive parent council.
In addition to being encouraged to achieve the highest standards in academic studies, St Andrew’s and St Bride’s High School pupils have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of extra-curricular interests. At St Andrew’s and St Brides we believe that these leisure and school experiences make a very valuable contribution to a young person’s education.
