Lomond School

At Lomond School, we prepare our pupils for their future by
ensuring that they learn the skills necessary to be successful
in the 21st century, whilst developing the traditional values
and qualities they require to be responsible and active global
citizens. Situated in the coastal town of Helensburgh, on the
edge of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, and
only 40 minutes from Glasgow International Airport, Lomond
School provides a perfect setting to deliver a rounded
education which inspires both academic and personal
achievement.

From Junior 1 to Senior 6, our talented and dedicated
teachers deliver a rich and varied curriculum ensuring that
all Lomond School pupils are encouraged to love learning
right from the start and continue to be challenged and
inspired throughout their school career. From Senior 5,
pupils study the International Baccalaureate Diploma
Programme or the International Baccalaureate Career related Programme with an HNC in Business or Engineering
or a NC in Activity Tourism.

We were delighted that our recent IB results were significantly higher than the global average, achieving an average score of 35. We are also proud of the fact that every student who has taken either IBDP or IBCP has passed and gained their qualification.

Times are changing and our overall aim is to ensure
that every young person in our care has an education that
prepares them for life, challenges them to be the best they
can be and inspires them to go out into the world and make a difference. 

Beyond academics, our teachers and support staff work
together to ensure that every child in our care makes the
most of the many opportunities available to them in sport,
extra-curricular activities, trips and excursions. There is a
strong commitment to outdoor education with lessons in
sailing, canoeing and climbing, all part of the curriculum. The
learning opportunities such activities present for our young
people are limitless, and our guiding principles and values
strongly support lessons outside the classroom.

As the West of Scotland’s only boarding school, living and
studying at Lomond School offers a truly unique experience
for boys and girls from the UK and around the world. Our
boarding house, Burnbrae, is home to young people from
a diverse range of nationalities and backgrounds and its
superb location and facilities provide plenty of opportunities
for adventure, making it an exciting and cosmopolitan place
to learn and grow. As a co-educational house, siblings can
live together under one roof and the mix of boys and girls of
different ages creates a real family feel, helping our boarders to settle into Lomond School life with ease. The boarding house has recently achieved recognition on two significant fronts.

We are delighted to announce that we received an ‘excellent’
rating from the Care Inspectorate, establishing us as a sector
leader. Additionally, we have been selected as a finalist in the prestigious Independent School of the Year Awards in the
category of Independent Boarding School of the Year.
