House Teams
In Blairgowrie High School we have 3 Houses: Glenisla, Stormont and Tay. Every young person is assigned to a House and will usually remain under the pastoral care of the same ‘house team’ for their school career.

Our Intensive Support Provision classes (Tay 4) are part of Tay House and Mrs Philip (Principal Teacher of Pupil Support) is the first point of contact for young people in these classes.
For all other pupils, the Guidance Teacher is the first point of contact for the child, parent, professionals and members of the community. The relationship between the Guidance Teacher and young people in their caseload is developed during their weekly contact in timetabled Social Education classes along with regular conversations about learning and wellbeing.
To help ensure all young people are well known and supported, as well as being allocated a Guidance Teacher, each learner is part of a Personal Support group which meets on a Friday for 30 minutes.
