My years at the School afforded me such a wide variety of experiences. In addition to an excellent academic education, I was able to play rugby for the 1st XV, perform as Elvis on stage, travel across the world and make lifelong friends.

We planned to apply for a place for Ruby at Senior School in due course, but took the opportunity to apply to join the Junior School when we relocated to Bearsden. The admissions team were extremely helpful and flexible, fitting around our house move and it was a seamless and stress-free transition for Ruby to join in Junior 3.

The High School of Glasgow truly is a very special place. From the first time I walked through the door for my interview, I knew from the ethos, and from the members of staff I encountered, that I was crossing the threshold into a centre of excellence.

My son absolutely loved his time at the High School of Glasgow Kindergarten. The transition from nursery was really easy for Johnny. The experienced team had an excellent settling-in process and created an environment that was calm, well organised and welcoming.
