Welcome from John Maclean, Headteacher

Sgoil a' Bhac, Back School , is situated on the northwest of Lewis by the beautiful beaches of Broad Bay . It provides a seamless education for pupils aged 3 to 14 and as such has Nursery, Primary and Secondary departments. Almost half the pupils in the Primary department receive education through the medium of Gaelic. Throughout the school Gaelic is promoted as a living language and is used readily in all areas of the school's work.

Sgoil a' Bhac is a true community school and enjoys very strong parental support. Strong links exist between the school, the local church and the wider community. The school places significant emphasis on the development of sport and has an enviable menu of after school clubs. All pupils have the opportunity of participating in activities which include music, singing, dancing and enterprise as well as sport.

The school has been refurbished to a high standard and provides excellent facilities including a state-of- the-art ICT suite, a floodlit ballcourt and extensive playing fields. The school roll is currently 200.

Sgoil a' Bhac provides an inclusive education for pupils from all backgrounds and walks of life. If you are interested in finding out more or would like to visit us, I would be delighted to help.

As a new term gets underway, I would like to wish all pupils and staff at Sgoil a' Bhac a successful and enjoyable education experience.
