Penicuik High School is a non-denominational secondary state school located in Penicuik, Midlothian, Scotland. It is situated on Carlops Road, opposite the town's main park. Several rooms are used by the Community Learning Division which provides education to adults in a variety of areas such as creative writing, art and computer literacy. Attached to the school, although administratively separate, is the Penicuk Leisure Centre (opened 2006) with such facilities as a library, gymnasium, swimming pool and weight room. The school uses the centre's gymnasium and pool for physical education classes on a regular basis In the May 2011 national examinations, Penicuik High School secured the highest place in Midlothian concerning Standard Grades, with 85% of S4 students achieving 5 passes at level 4 or higher. The school ranked second in Midlothian concerning Higher examinations with 28% of those sitting receiving 3 or more Highers.〔(Exam tables by region )〕 ==Organisation== As of the 2011-2012 academic year, the school had a roll of around 600 pupils. Students in each year group are divided into registration classes which are then part of the House System. The school is divided into two houses, each named after a famous Scot: Clerk Maxwell House in honour of the 19th century physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell and Liddle House in honour of the 1924 Summer Olympics Gold Medalist Eric Liddell who was a devout Christian missionary and spent many years in China. The school follows the Scottish Education System with pupils starting in S1 (1st year) and progressing as far as S6 (6th year). As with all students in the Scottish system, pupils may leave school at the end of S4, provided that that they have reached the legal leaving age of 16, or will have done so by the last day of September that same year. There is a uniform policy of black trousers or skirt, white shirt and black pullover. Students in S1-S4 wear a blue and white striped tie whilst S5 and S6 students wear a black tie emblazoned with the Midlothian symbol. Penicuik High School operates a vertical guidance system whereby a Guidance teacher is responsible for a caseload encompassing students on every year level as opposed to the horizontal system where a Guidance teacher deals only with students in one year group. It is through the Guidance Team that the school has sought to promote a greater understanding and acceptance of diversity and responsible citizenship although whole school involvement is strongly promoted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Penicuik High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
