Which one? Or did you go to the both of them? Which means that you went to Tam Muir, then when that became St ninians, you went to Bishy High which by then had become academy, before going back to Tam Muir which had then became Academy?

I remember we got polled on what we wanted Bishopbriggs new high school to be called, it was nearly Bishopbriggs Grammar.

Drugs Controversies

The school has attracted some negative coverage in the press over drugs taking/drugs dealing at the school and at school events. To quote one 1998 article for example: "It is not the first time the academy has been rocked by controversy. In 1996, during its Christmas ball, a 15-year-old girl was taken to hospital and seven others were suspended for drunken antics. In October 1995, two 12-year-old boys were suspended for dealing with drugs. It followed a string of other drug-related incidents. In 1994, a 16-year-old was expelled for drug dealing, then re-admitted. Also that year, four pupils were suspended over claims of drug taking, and a 15-year-old boy was arrested outside school and charged with possessing cannabis. " 8 pupils who smoked cannabis on a school trip to Alton Towers were suspended for a fortnight following a disciplinary hearing at the school in June 1998.

Bullying/Gang issuesThe school has also received continuing attention for problems with gangs/bullying as well as knife crime. As demonstrated in a 1999 Mirror article:

"Pupils were ordered back to their classrooms when the knife-wielding gangs of ex-pupils laid siege to Lenzie Academy, near Glasgow.

Rector Roderick McLelland ordered staff and pupils inside until police moved the youths on."

The gang issues were again raised in a 2006 Mirror article:

"... Nicola had endured months of vicious bullying by a gang of 30 teenagers, known as "the Neds".

They threw stones, cans, water bombs and food at Nicola simply because she dressed differently to them."

Again in 2011 where a gang targeted a 12 year old boy for being "ginger" just after school had finished." A REDHEADED boy of 12 was attacked by bullies over an internet campaign called Slap a Ginger Day. A gang targeted the lad at a local rail station after he left Lenzie Academy in Dunbartonshire."
