Partick Academy originated as a private school in Church Street, Partick, in 1850. In 1878 it moved to Peel Street. By 1887, Partick Academy numbers were dropping and the highly active Govan Parish School Board took over. The remaining pupils from the Academy were moved to join the pupils of Hamilton Crescent School. This building faces west across the cricket pitch and is still used as a primary school. In 1912, the new and well-equipped Airlie Street Building in Hyndland, under the name 'Hyndland High School', became the new home for the pupils of Hamilton Crescent School. 300 infants and 1100 older scholars attended this school, which was run by Goven Parish School Board. The Lauderdale Gardens building was added in 1930.

The facilities for up to 950 pupils at the school have improved significantly through the refurbishment and extension of Hyndland Secondary School

The extension provides additional general classrooms, new library, games hall, social space, dining and kitchen

In the general refurbishment of the existing School building, the works included provision of a rationalised suite of 6 ICT Classrooms and 12 Faculty Bases

The most significant difference since refurbishment has been the roofing of the school courtyard – offering better social space and easier, all weather links between the two school buildings. Improved school entrances and the refurbishment of 24 general classrooms all ensure a good environment for its pupils

A library and IT Learning Centre are at the heart of the school, offering pupils and teachers an opportunity to make the most of Internet technology

• 24 classrooms • 6 dedicated ICT teaching areas • 3 home economics rooms • 8 science labs • 4 technical rooms • 4 art and design rooms • 2 music rooms • a drama studio • 2 gymnasia • a games hall
