Save our Subjects and a Huge Thank you
by Chairperson • • 0 Comments
- No detriment can be caused to our school, complimentary courses will be considered to be offered at PHS by Perth College and UHI (benefitting both us and PHS students).
- Full expansion to S5 and S6 at Pitlochry High School has been ruled out based on detailed educational analysis.
- Both school Heads, Mr Devine and Mrs Liney (PHS) worked incredibly hard to improve the transition for PHS students into Breadalbane Academy at S5, a transition that works well for some but was acknowledged could be better for others.
- We now look eagerly for the Council to deliver on their commitment to focus on the digital offering and capability of BA…..
AND we feel its incredibly important to say THANK YOU>>>

Councillor John Duff has confirmed (in todays Courier)
“The steering group will consider if there is a way in which some S5/S6 pupils could take some lessons on some occasions from Pitlochry High School, provided this is not detrimental to education at Breadalbane.
“This may or may not be a possibility.”
BAPC have requested written confirmation of this interpretation of the amendment by the two local councillors who proposed the amendment , Councillor Xander McDade and Councillor Mike Williamson.
