Upcoming Admissions Events
Monday 19th January 2026
Getting to Know You Day
Junior School
27 Ledcameroch Road
Bearsden
G61 4AE
At our Junior School in Bearsden, we will be hosting a 'Getting to Know You' Day on Monday 19th January, where children spend a day with a class, immersed in the vibrant life at Ledcameroch Road.
Prospective pupils visit specialised classes, dependent on the timetable on offer that day. Our sector-leading class teachers will carry out tasks with children in the areas of reading, writing and mathematics, in order to help gauge pupils' understanding. This may be in the form of a standalone task or through a task the class already have planned.
While this is a chance for the High School to get to know your child, it is also a chance for your child to get to know the High School!
We can't wait to welcome you. Apply for your place at The High School of Glasgow and our Admissions Team will register you for our Assessment Day.
