A top-class education
Craigholme School in the Southside of Glasgow, is the top independent girls’ school in the West of Scotland.
The school provides an all-through education for girls aged five to 18 years.
It works on the basis that your daughter is unique so should her education be.
And with 120 years of experience in educating girls, Craigholme teaches pupils to achieve excellent academic results as well as the necessary life skills to succeed in their future careers.
As the only independent girls’ school in the West of Scotland, Craigholme is uniquely able to make a difference to the education of girls from all different walks of life.
Through our smaller class sizes and our single-sex educational approach, we can offer learning that is tailored to your daughter’s needs, alongside comprehensive personalised support within a close-knit and inclusive environment.
At a time when families are moving homes to gain places in State schools, there is no stress of that at Craigholme.
Our ethos ensures that every one of our girls is treated and valued as an individual, giving them every opportunity to express themselves, grow and achieve, not just academically, but across sports, music and the arts.
We strongly believe in the Craigholme approach to education and our girls’ academic performance is proof of its value and exam results at Craigholme are consistently among the best in the country.
In 2014/2015, our S5 girls achieved an outstanding pass rate of 94 per cent sitting the new Higher exams, with 84 per cent of these results being either A or B grades.
Craigholme are celebrating another year of outstanding results.
Our S5 girls achieved an excellent pass rate of 97.1 per cent, an outstanding 84.6 per cent of these were A and B grade.
And 20 per cent of our girls in the S5 year group attained 5 A’s.

All of this success is a reflection of the hard work undertaken by pupils and staff over the last year.

Our £2 million sports complex is within nearby Pollok Country Park, adding to school’s distinctive character.
