Who Do I Speak To?

Your child’s Guidance Teacher is usually your first point of contact should you wish to discuss the progress of your child at school, pass on information or share any concerns. There are 5 Guidance Teachers at Earlston High School, each has responsibility for the pastoral support of the young people in their caseload, of around 210-220 pupils. Pupils will usually have the same Guidance Teacher as their siblings throughout their time at school.

If you wish to contact your child’s Guidance Teacher, please do so through the school office. The Guidance Teacher will be very happy to set up an appointment with you and return any emails or phone messages as soon as practically possible.

Guidance Teachers meet regularly with their pupils through the Learner Journey lessons and when conducting interviews at certain points during the school year, usually after a report is issued. Young people are encouraged to raise any issues with their Guidance Teacher so they can be supported at the earliest opportunity.

The Guidance Teachers are as follows:

• Pupils in Eden House: Mrs G McGinlay
• Pupils in Leader House: Mr A Mckenzie
• Pupils in Teviot House: Miss E Rome
• Pupils in Turfford House: Miss M Allison
• Pupils in Tweed House: Miss C Fleming

In addition, our five Depute Headteachers have responsibilities as follows:

• Pupils from S1 & S2: Mrs J Weston
• Pupils from S3 & S4: Ms K McLeod
• Pupils from S5 & S6: Mrs J McDonald

You may also contact the school office with any general enquiries.
