Jordanhill School is a co-educational school located in Glasgow, Scotland. First established in 1920, the school provides places for students aged 4-19, and consists of both a primary and secondary. Taking its funding directly from the Scottish government, rather than the local authority, the school has around 1000 pupils across all departments, with slightly more in secondary. The school has seen extensive redevelopment and modernisation over the years, and as a result is able to boast of a wide range of modern teaching and recreational facilities, including major refurbishment taking place in 2008, which added several new classrooms and a new school building.

Education Scotland Inspection
“Across the school, children and young people learn and achieve very well through a varied and exciting range of lessons and activities. They are very well motivated by learning which is rich in opportunities to develop important knowledge and skills. For example, children in P4 learn about medieval life through holding a banquet. Children and young people respond enthusiastically to the many opportunities they have to be responsible for how and what they learn.”
