Hillhead High School

Hillhead High School is a secondary school in Glasgow's West End with two main structural sections on its campus. The Main Building, erected between 1921 and 1929, displays traditional architectural features, while the Terrace Building provides additional classroom space for the school community.

The school began in 1885 as a primary institution and gradually became a selective grammar school before the 1972 shift to comprehensive secondary education. This transformation marked a significant change in how it served the local community's educational needs.

The French school motto 'Nous maintiendrons' reflects the institution's commitment to learning, and students engage in various sports groups and clubs. The buildings are deeply woven into the neighborhood's character, shaping how people move through and recognize this part of the city.

The campus is easily located on Oakfield Avenue and contains two buildings that house different aspects of school operations. Visitors should keep in mind that this is an active school site where access may vary depending on term time and special events.

The school maintains a special connection with Wellington Church, where students gather for assembly events throughout the year. This tradition links the school building to an important religious and community gathering place in the neighborhood.
