Australia to Glasgow

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 !!

My ( late ) father went there ! Many many years ago i.e. late 1920's / 1930's.

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