The  History

This page introduces a series of separate pages on different historical aspects of one of Scotland's most famous and illustrious schools.

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.
