Hello. We are moving to Glasgow shortly…my daughter is going into S5 (15 in Dec). I’ve been in contact with a few schools - they have mentioned that she could possibly start Highers…I thought maybe she’d do National 5’s ? I guess we can always see how she goes…she’s quite bright.

I need help with schools. I’m coming over in a few weeks by myself to look at accommodation and also schools. We quite like the west end area and the schools in the East Renfrewshire seem good ? We will most probably base our selves in the school catchment.

Any honest feedback on the following schools:

Hyndland
Woodfarm
Notre Dame
Woodend High
St Ninian’s, Giffnock
Williamwood High

I just want to narrow down schools to visit - it’s only two years. She super sporty (goes to a football school in Australia) and will definitely play club football busy she also wants to be an engineer.

ALL feedback appreciated !!

Lovely update! We used to live near the High School, and it is a great area, glad you’re enjoying it 🥰
