Welcome to the Bishopbriggs Academy website
It is my great pleasure to welcome parents, prospective parents and all other visitors to our website. We hope that it gives you a comprehensive insight into many different aspects of life at Bishopbriggs Academy.
We have the highest standards and expectations of ourselves and each other. Our staff are extremely talented, dedicated and professional and that, allied to the various ways in which we focus on maximising academic attainment, has seen Bishopbriggs Academy establish a very strong reputation as a highly performing school.
We are absolutely committed to providing the widest range of opportunities for our young people to experience and enjoy success. Furthermore, we place great importance on celebrating that success and we do so in a wide variety of ways.
The school enjoys very positive relations with our parents, our community, local organisations and businesses and we hope that the accessibility of information on our website will help to further strengthen that.

Bishopbriggs Academy Trek 24 for Sense Scotland
On Saturday 19th May 2012 four members of staff from Bishopbriggs Academy - Mr McBride (Depute Head Teacher), Ms Mills (School Assistant), Mr Moulsdale (Head Teacher) and Mr Wylie (Principal Teacher of Geography) are to embark on an endurance challenge, TREK24, which involves a team of 4 people walking 54 miles over a 24 hour period for Sense Scotland. However, they believe this can be done in approximately 16 hours - no pressure then!!
After a group of pupils attended a deaf blind fashion show in Lenzie last year, it humbled and affected the accompanying staff members so much that when the opportunity arose to take part in this monstrous challenge with such a good cause as the beneficiary, they felt compelled to go for it.
Sense Scotland transform and enrich the lives of deafblind and disabled children and adults throughout Scotland, helping people access all sorts of brilliant opportunities and simply live life to the full. Family is at the centre of everything the charity do and Sense Scotland staff care passionately about supporting not just the person who has the disability, but also the whole family unit – being there to assist with the various challenges families face together along the way.
TREK24 is an exhilarating mental and physical challenge. More than two marathons back to back! It will take the team through an amazing journey along the West Highland Way, the Rob Roy Way, Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
If you are interested in supporting this worthy cause you can donate online at www.justgiving.com/BIshopbriggsAcademyTrek24 or at Bishopbriggs Academy school office.
