Sole surviving all girls school may start taking boys

The future of the only allgirl state school in Scotland is set to be discussed.

A consultation will be held by Glasgow City Council on whether Notre Dame High School should start taking male pupils.

There has been a push from parents in Glasgow’s west end for their sons to be allowed to go to Notre Dame.

The school in Glasgow’s Hyndland is Roman Catholic, but a number of girls from Muslim families also attend.

Only girls have been taught at Notre Dame since the school’s inception in 1897.
