Monifieth High School, a comprehensive state high school in Monifieth, Angus, Scotland, was founded in 1976. It was opened by Lord Thomson of Monifieth.[2] The school enrolls approximately 1100 pupils from a catchment area including Monifieth, parts of Barnhill, Birkhill and other rural areas of Angus including the Hillbanks area, Liff and Auchterhouse.
Monifieth High School has very good exam results in all areas of the school,[3] achieving more than double the average for the number of pupils attaining five or more awards at Higher in 2010.[clarification needed]
As of 2021, the school was last inspected by Education Scotland in 2015, when inspectors found that "Young people learn and achieve well at Monifieth High School ... [although] the pace of learning could be brisker, activities more challenging and young people could be given more responsibility for their learning".[4]
Facilities
In 2004, the school renovated many of its facilities, including the reception area, and constructed new changing rooms, increased singing rooms in the music department, and installed many interactive whiteboards in classrooms.[5]
As of 2020, the school is over-subscribed and the school buildings are reported to be "struggling to cope".[7]
Community support
In 2020, the school was one of eight local schools making and supplying masks to health workers.[8]
Previous rectors and headteachers
As of 2022, the headteacher is Andy Dingwall. The previous headteacher was M-C McInally (from 2013).[9][10] Before that, the school's rectors were Hector Low (to 1994), Jim Collins (1994 to 2000) and Richard Coton (2000 to 2013).[9]
