Attainment is on a rising trend and has risen significantly at Standard Grade and in S2. An increasing number of Business links have been established. Blairgowrie High School seeks to promote the development and progress of all our pupils academically, personally and socially. Pupils will find many opportunities to become involved in sports and activities which will develop their abilities and their attitudes as they progress through the school.
