Delivering an engaging and fun learning experience

-

The west of Scotland’s only boarding school, offering a unique location and a forward-thinking approach to education.

At Lomond School we believe that balance is what drives happiness and success and we aim to deliver a learning experience which is engaging and fun, giving every child the tools they need to pursue a successful life beyond school. Our young people enjoy an enhanced curriculum which provides enrichment and experience­s beyond the classroom. From extra-curricular activities to life changing trips, coming to Lomond School opens the door to a range of opportunit­ies which help to develop confidence, respect and an outward looking approach which will serve our young people well in their futures.

As a non-selective school, our academic results are exceptiona­lly high, and we believe that this is because we help our pupils to find a pathway which suits their individual needs allowing them to get the very best from their education. In S5 and S6 pupils have the option of three pathways: either SQA Highers and Advanced Highers, the IB Diploma Programme or the IB Career-related Programme with specialisa­tion through an HNC in Business. This choice is unrivalled in Scotland and ensures that we have the right pathway for all.

Our boarding house, Burnbrae, is a purpose facility separate to the main school campus. With up to 60 boarders, the house is small enough to truly provide a family feel and being home to boys and girls provides a unique opportunit­y for siblings to live together in the same boarding house. All our pupils are respected and treated as individual­s and our staff actively support their personal, social and educationa­l developmen­t. Supporting our house parents in this are resident tutors, the school nurse, matrons and pupil peer group. Boarding at Lomond is an enriching experience that we truly believe provides a ‘home away from home’. Contact our Registrar to find out more.
