Guidance
At Eyemouth High School the first point of contact is always your child’s Guidance Teacher.
Eyemouth High School has 3 Guidance teachers and on joining the school, a young person is allocated to one of these teachers. Two of our Guidance teachers support across the whole school, with approximately 200 students each. This is known as Universal Support. The third Guidance teacher has a more targeted approach and supports approximately 50 of our students who require further and ongoing support. This is known as Support Plus.
The Guidance teacher is the key adult who has the overall picture of how a student is progressing. If you, as a parent, wish to discuss any aspect of their schooling, then the Guidance teacher should usually be the person to contact. Similarly, if the school wishes to discuss progress with you, then it will be the Guidance teacher who contacts home.

We have a vertical guidance structure. As of the 2018-19 session, each of our two Depute Headteachers has an overview of students in a particular group (rather than a particular year). Mrs Patterson is the Depute Headteacher who has the overview of students in Eye (S1-6) and in Support Plus (S1-6); Mrs Fairbairn is the Depute Headteacher who has the overview of students in Tweed (S1-6).
