Dear Parent Carer
As you will be aware we recently carried out an extensive review of Student Support at Penicuik High School that looked at the services we offer young people including: Guidance based support, Support for Learning, Youth work and Behaviour support in The Learning centre (TLC). I am pleased to attach a formal report to Parent/Carers on the outcomes of the review including strengths and areas for improvement.
We will continue to focus on the areas for development and I will keep you updated on progress and any changes within Student Support over the coming months. If you have any queries about this report please email penicuik hs@midlothian.gov.uk FAO: Craig Biddick.
Yours sincerely
Craig Biddick

Special Mentions
A big thank you to Rosie Anderson, Emma Sinton, Sophie Patterson, Chantelle Keenan, Lewis Johnston and Matthew Gallagher and their contribution to the Christmas Hampers! With supplies of hamper food all over the library they happily volunteered and packed the Christmas charity hampers making sure everything was ready to go for the last day of term. In total 13 hampers were packed and a separate collection was taken for the food bank. A fantastic effort, well done to everyone involved! Each pupil was awarded 30 house points for their efforts!
A special mention goes to Samuel Buxton, Eve Bennett, Zoe Sinclair, Anna Ferguson, Zorintca Yordanova, Rowetta He and Jessica Millican for their contributions to the school recycling collection. Thank you to you all for all your hard work this year. Each pupil was awarded 30 house points for their efforts!
