Learners academic performance is our priority and therefore we have a strong academic program in place, backed up by an intervention, tutoring and homework assist programmes.

Our Values

The educational ethos of the School recognises of the uniqueness and individuality of each child. Our Teaching practices strive to develop the Whole Person as the educational goal at Blairgowrie.
