Today
The new, purpose-built Senior School (Transitus to S6) is set among the playing-fields of Old Anniesland, owned by the Glasgow High School Club (below). There have been multiple extensions to these buildings, including the two-storey science block. The Junior School (Kindergarten to P6) occupies the site of the former Drewsteignton School, on Ledcameroch Road in Old Bearsden and recently underwent extension work. The Headmistress of the Junior School is Mrs. Karen Waugh. Many of the extensions to the school, including the current expansion of science facilities, have been made possible through the generous funding of former pupils and parents.
The School maintains the Christian nature of its foundation in Glasgow Cathedral. The Senior School holds daily whole-school assemblies, which include hymns and a reading as well as announcements and the presentation of awards achieved by pupils in curricular or extra-curricular activities.
