Examples include Edinburgh Castle, St Andrews (world famous for its golf), Glasgow museum and shopping, Holyrood Palace (official royal residence in Scotland), Stirling (cradle of Scottish history – Braveheart!) and East Lothian (Museum of Flight and picturesque Scottish landscapes).

    The Glasgow Academy The Glasgow The Glasgow Academy 2009-2010 Chronicle 2009-2010 The Glasgow Academy is an educational charity registered in Scotland. Charity Number SCO 15638. The Glasgow Academy 2009-2010 Autumn 2010 Number 330 Editor: Tom Carlin with Alan Whyte, Alison Campbell and Clare Blair From the Rector It has been a year of remarkable achievements. As the all-round school, we aim to give our pupils the adaptability, confidence and resilience to live happy and fulfilled lives, becoming masters not just of many fields like Renaissance man, but of fields not yet even invented. The finest talents we can develop are the capacities to think on your feet, handle whatever suddenly comes your way, and work with others for the wider good. So we are proud that our pupils have achieved what no others have done. In the Scottish Parliament we won the Law Society of Scotland Donald Dewar Memorial Debating Competition for the second year running. We are the first school to win the competition twice. 128 schools took part and the judges were unanimous in their decision. Oscar Lee and Seamus McGuigan - plus Sam Reilly who won the prize for the best floor speech of the night - bagged every prize going. At the English Speaking Union, St Andrew’s Day Debate, also in the Scottish Parliament, Lauren Hudson won the quaich for best individual secondary school speaker. When you’ve played in the Bandstand in Central Park, New York, in sub-zero February temperatures, performed in the chapel at Ground Zero, and sung with the remarkable delayed echo and swirling acoustics in St John the Divine, the world’s largest gothic cathedral, your music - and your confidence - have been taken to new levels.

Besides drawing on the literature, the review is based on four main lines of evidence: • new databases, including a schools’ dataset for the academic year 2006-07 compiled from information provided by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and the Independent Schools Council (ISC), and a teachers’ dataset commissioned from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA); • re-working of published statistics, including those from HESA’s Performance Indicators in Higher Education and the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), and re-analysing headteacher interviews; • biographical searches of the school backgrounds of members of various occupations and endeavours; • survey of the community involvement and partnerships of HMC schools.
