Hyndland Secondary School is a non-denominational state comprehensive school in the Hyndland area of Glasgow, Scotland.
The school provides secondary education for children from the local area, although there are many children from other areas of the city. The school is part of the Hyndland New Learning Community, which consists of the school, its feeder primaries and other local children's services, and of which the former Headmaster, John F Alexander, was the Principal. Hyndland is also the only school in Glasgow where wearing uniform is not required on a day-to-day basis.
History
In 1887, the Govan Parish School Board opened the Hyndland School on Hamilton Crescent (which became Fortrose Street in 1931) in Partick, designed by William Landless. In 1912, the school moved to a new building on Clarence Drive, now known as the Airlie Building, which it shared with Hyndland Primary School. In 1930, expansion led to a second building being added back-to-back with the Airlie Building, fronting onto Lauderdale Gardens and in 1997, the school's catchment area was extended to take in part of the former Victoria Drive Secondary area.{{cite web|url=http://www.hyndland-sec.glasgow.sch.uk |title=Hyndland Secondary School |publisher=Hyndland-sec.glasgow.sch.uk |access-date=23 April 2010}}
The previous building became Hamilton Crescent Supplementary School in 1912, Hamilton Crescent Advanced Central Public School in 1927, and Hamilton Crescent Junior Secondary in 1940 until 1972, when Hyndland Primary School was relocated to the building in what was by then known as Fortrose Street.{{cite web|url=http://www.theglasgowstory.com/image.php?inum=TGSA02479&t=2&urltp=searchq.php%3Fqsearch%3Dhyndland%26amp%3Bstart%3D0%26amp%3Bend%3D20%26amp%3Bft%3D11%26amp%3Bl%3Dy |title=Hamilton Crescent Public School |publisher=Glasgow City Archives, Department of Education |access-date=23 April 2010}}
{{As of|2017|April}} there were 1,025 pupils enrolled and 73 FTE teaching staff.{{cite web |url=https://education.gov.scot/parentzone/find-a-school/glasgow-city/8434638 |title=Hyndland Secondary School |publisher=ParentZone |website=education.gov.scot |access-date=4 April 2017 |archive-date=4 April 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170404221201/https://education.gov.scot/parentzone/find-a-school/glasgow-city/8434638 |url-status=dead }}
Primary schools
Hyndland, Broomhill, Thornwood and Whiteinch primary schools serve as feeder primaries to the school. Some pupils of Broomhill Primary also have the option of going to Jordanhill School as a result of the increase in capacity between that school's primary and secondary departments. Pupils who did not attend any of these schools may apply to Glasgow City Council to be admitted to Hyndland by way of a placing request.
Some pupils from Dowanhill Primary School on Highburgh Road had the option of Hyndland Secondary or Hillhead High.
Campus
The school is housed in two separate buildings at either end of a small playground. The Lauderdale and Airlie Buildings, each named for the street it faces, are linked by a brick-built "link corridor", constructed as part of Glasgow City Council's public-private partnership scheme of school refurbishments, Project 2002. There is also a large floodlit synthetic pitch across the road from the Lauderdale Building. The campus lies adjacent to Clarence Drive.
The school was refurbished as part of the council's Project 2002 scheme, when a further 26 classrooms, an enlarged cafeteria and an indoor games hall were added to the facilities. A local group linked to the school subsequently obtained a National Lottery grant to upgrade facilities in the lecture theatre, which is now the Airlie Community Theatre, equipped with sound and lighting technology allowing plays to be produced in the school. It is also available for use by the community.
