We aim to provide a range of learning experiences, which meet the needs of all our learners.  Working together in partnership: school staff, parents and our partner agencies can help us achieve this goal.

Rutherglen High school opened in August 1999 and is a non-denominational and co-educational school.  The school is part of the Cathkin Learning Community and has formed strong inks within the local community.  

The school provides education for 120 pupils and is currently located in Langlea Road in Cambuslang.  All pupils attending Rutherglen High School have a range of Additional Support Needs and have an Additional Support Plan or Co0ordinated Support Plan to assist the school in planning a curriculum which supports pupils in achieving their potential.  Support for the pupils is provided in the form of smaller class sizes (maximum 10) with allocated staff to provide continuity and security.

Pupils are supervised at the morning interval and lunchtime and are provided with assistance with personal care if required.

Rutherglen High School has a strong link with Glasgow Clyde College (Langside and Cardonald Campus), New Lanarkshire College, New College Lanarkshire (Motherwell Campus) and City of Glasgow College (Riverside and John Wheatly Campus).  Through our extensive Work Experience programme, good partnership has been established with local employers.

We are a Rights Respecting School, a Health Promoting School and an Eco School, fund raising for charity and the promotion of Fairtrade are an integral part of the school Ethos.  To date we have gained our Gold Award in Health Promoting School Awards and have maintained Eco School status since 2006.  We are also a Rights Respecting School (Level 1) and have a Bronze Level of the Enhanced Visual School Award.
