Hutchesons' Grammar School has been many different schools in its 370 year history, and in several different locations - a charity school for primary age boys in the centre of Glasgow; an elementary and secondary school for boys, and then a separate such school for girls, in the Gorbals; and then the move to Crossmyloof by the Boys' Grammar before amalgamation with the Girls'Grammar in 1976.
Through all these changes, a consistency of purpose and approach to the education of children is identifiable, one to do with lifting people to a new sense of possibility in their lives through the understanding born of effort and application.
