High School Prospectus FOUNDED 1124 A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE FINDS THEIR VOICE RECTOR’S A friendly purposefulness WELCOME “Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future." William Wordsworth We are an independent, co-educational day school of just over a thousand pupils aged between 3 and 18. Our roots go back almost 900 years to Glasgow Cathedral’s Choir School. We have been through many permuta- tions since then. I invite you to read a little more of our story overleaf. We offer an all round education with high levels of both academic and pastoral support. We are a very high achieving school but by encouraging sibling attendance we create a family atmosphere with mixed abilities. OUR VISION IS TO We believe strongly in continuity and laying down firm foundations. DISCOVER AND IGNITE The opportunity of a nursery to young adult education offers a secure and THE POTENTIAL WITHIN EVERY YOUNG PERSON nurturing passage of personal discovery and growing societal awareness. THAT THEY MAY LIVE BETTER We also welcome pupils at any stage along this journey. Although we draw IN THE FUTURE upon our Christian heritage we accept children of all faiths or none. AND MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE I hope older daughters and sons will read this prospectus as well as parents. TO THEIR OWN LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS At the High School of Glasgow we encourage participation, and if that starts before you even get the blazer and tie all the better! The best thing though is to come along together and see for yourself. John O’Neill Rector 1 The Rector, John O’Neill, was educated at St Ambrose High School. He graduated in Arts and Honours in Medieval and Modern History from Glasgow University, and gained a Post Graduate Certificate of Education with Distinction at St Andrew’s College. He joined the High School as Senior Deputy Rector in 2004 from Merchiston Castle School, Edinburgh where he was Housemaster and Head of Sixth Form. Through his extensive responsibilities as Senior Deputy Rector, he gained a very close knowledge of the High School, its ethos and traditions and he also taught History and Modern Studies. After 11 years in this post he was appointed Rector in 2015. OUR FOUNDATIONS “Passing the tradition gloriously on.” Angelic voices. Phoenix rising. Voices. Singing praises and exultation.

  • Strategic Plan 2024 in 2024, the High School of Glasgow Will Commemorate Its 900Th Anniversary
    Project 2024 Our Strategic Plan 1 2 Rector’s Introduction A higher purpose since 1124 The High School of Glasgow, founded as the Choir School, the ‘Sang School’, of Glasgow Cathedral in the 12th century, was born with the then higher purpose of teaching young boys to read and to sing in praise of God. That the School has continued since its origins to become the independent all-through co-educational school of today reflects our commitment to consistently pursuing a higher purpose in all we do. Our School motto, Sursum Semper, encapsulates the mission of a higher purpose well in the translation “ever upwards”. Since our independence in 1976, being saved through the endeavour of our Former Pupils and friends, the High School has grown in pupil numbers, buildings, resources, educational opportunities and national standing. Today in 2019 we are part of the Glasgow and Scottish school educational scene and well regarded as such, despite our changed status as an independent school. This strategic plan aims to unconditionally state not only our vision, mission and values as a school, but to detail how we ultimately aim to be the independent school of choice in the City of Glasgow and the West of Scotland; a nationally recognised beacon of outstanding educational practice and experience; and one in which young people are nurtured to make a life-long difference to their lives and the lives of others, from local to global. We aim to be a school which prizes the abilities, talents and presence of all people: staff, pupils, parents, alumni and the wider local and global community.
