- Smithycroft Secondary School is located in Smithycroft Road, in the east end of Glasgow. In August 2002 the school moved into a new building erected on what had been its playing fields to the east of the original school building which was built in 1967. The building consists of a classroom block, a "practical" block where technical rooms are located, and a wing housing a games hall and two gymnasia. The school has a resource center with 30 ICT stations, 6 other ICT suites, and a "street" area that is the hub of the school where pupils are encouraged to mingle and socialize at break times and during lunch. There are two multi-purpose pitches at the front of the school. The school sits in attractive landscaped surroundings. The school aims to provide religious education by the guidelines produced by the local authority. Throughout the pupils’ school life, religious education should encourage pupils to: Recognize religion as an important expression of human experience Reflect on and respond to the values, beliefs, and practices of religious traditions within our community and beyond Be aware of the practical consequences of religious commitment Evaluate, and come to their understanding, of the meaning, value, and purpose of life All classes follow a program of religious and moral education which has the above as its aims. Religious observance most usually takes the form of prayers and readings at assemblies. It is hoped to afford pupils opportunities To engage in a shared activity in which they can reflect on and express their spiritual feelings To celebrate together important occasions in their lives and the lives of the school and its community To give expression to the shared beliefs and common humanity of people everywhere. The school is well served by a chaplaincy team consisting of ministers from the neighboring churches and workers associated with the churches. As well as involvement in the arrangements explained above the team makes a significant contribution to the school’s personal and social education program. Parents have the right to withdraw their children from religious education periods and/or religious observance. Any parent who wishes to exercise this right should inform the headteacher in writing so that appropriate schoolwork can be arranged as an alternative. Parents from ethnic minority religious communities may request that their children be permitted to be absent from school to celebrate recognized religious events. These requests must be in writing and will not be granted on any more than three occasions in any one school session. The child will be recorded as an authorized absentee in the school register.
