  • 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.
