From Alister Mackay's story in this weeks Bishopbriggs Herald...
"Bishopbriggs Academy pupils are having to stand in the playground while teachers are bussed back and forward between buildings."
Both sites have rearranged their timetable to allow 15 minutes between periods to accommodate these transfers.
One concerned mother said: "...it seems neither the teachers or pupils know what is going on."
Another mum said: "It's absolutely awful... Our children's education is suffering because of this and it really seems that the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing."
The head teacher has assured parents they are working to make sure pupils don't lose any class time.
The head teacher had this to say: "Under no circumstances would pupils be asked to go outside if it was either cold or wet."
"Yes, there is often a waiting time, but this has been kept to a minimum and this will only be untill all the pupils are together in October."
Other concerned parents have contact John Simmons (Head of Education) directly over the new time table arrangements.

I AM A PUPIL AT BISHOPBRIGGS ACADEMY. THE WHOLE SCHOOL IS AN ABSOLUTE MESS. THE HEAD TEACHER ALSO MADE US STAND OUTSIDE ON A PARTICULARLY COLD DAY. WHEN WE COMPLAINED HE SAID IT WASN'T COLD. WE ARE BEING SHUFFLED AROUND CONSTANTLY AND OFTEN START CLASSES UP TO 10 MINUTES LATE AS WE HAVE NO CLASSROOMS.
