Being a private school the uniform policy is pretty strict, but with rumors of the boys trousers soon changing to the purple tartan pattern this may soon change from a cause of nuisance, to one of sheer hilarity on epic proportions. Honestly, tartan trousers? Genius. With the recently added brand spanking new primary school building now perched precariously over the Kelvin and protruding it's sparkling glass faced walls onto Belmont Street, this contrasts interestingly with it's rather older and more traditional buildings to the rear and make the school fees well worth the money, even if your child has to endure various missiles and projectiles launched from neighbouring schools at his rather dubious tartan trousers.

Apart from being socially controversial, private schools have had a rather difficult time in the…read morepast ten years. The abolition of assisted places undermined the class mixture that rescued many of them from being too exclusive and the ability to pay became more critical than academic talent, at least as far as admission procedures went. Despite this, the Academy still has a reputation for strong intellectual achievement, and the pupils, seen in the West End most days in their uniforms, are smart and well mannered. It is a school for those with bright academic hopes, and the new buildings, mirrored in the development of rival schools, do not hide a school for the rich and dim. Tough selection procedures ensure that they continue to provide a generation of lawyers and doctors, although it is always worth noting that this sort of education is not really ideal for everyone.

My eldest girl has been attending here since she was 1. I…read morehave been really happy with this nursery as the staff are so lovely, and my little girl who is now 2 is very happy here. The nursery is clean and well equipped with rooms for 0-2, 2-3, and 3+. Each room has an outdoor play area also, though outdoor space is small for the 0-3 age range. My little girl has always enjoyed her nursery days, and I love to see and hear what activities she has enjoyed taking part in each day she attends. The nursery is situated beside the canal so often the kids can be brought out to feed the ducks. It is also a short distance from Kirkintilloch town centre so it is great when the staff bring the kids to the shops to buy ingredients for soup which is then made in nursery for them to enjoy later that day. A lovely nursery with super staff!
