Webster's High School Kirriemuir

Welcome to the Webster's High School Website

As Head Teacher of the school it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Webster's High. Webster’s has been the burgh school of Kirriemuir and the Glens for more than 150 years and we are proud of our history and tradition of service to the local community.

We hope you will find here the answers to many of your questions about the practical aspects of primary - secondary transfer, the secondary curriculum, and the organisation and administration of the school. But a website and handbook (see link below) cannot take the place of personal contact between the home and school. That is still the most important form of communication. We encourage parents to visit the school and find out more about us.

Please do not hesitate to telephone or write for an appointment.

Mrs Jane Esson
Head Teacher
