Introduction from the Headteacher
I would like to welcome you to the Knightswood Secondary School website which I am confident you will find interesting and informative.
The School, which is located in the West End of Glasgow, is one of the City's largest Secondaries with a roll of approximately 1400 pupils. We are co-educational, non-selective and non-denominational, educating pupils of all abilities, cultures and social backgrounds.

We also consider the process of education to be crucial and an important part of our work is the creation of a positive learning environment where everyone is valued and a strong sense of purpose prevails. Our staff work hard to achieve this and they demonstrate a strong commitment to every child who enters our doors. Our pupils contribute significantly to the good ethos in the School, a notable feature being their participation in the decision-making process through the School's Student Council.
We understand that the professional skills of the teacher working in harmony with the active encouragement and support of parents, leads to a powerful and successful influence on our pupils. Together we ensure that our young people grow and develop with confidence.

Ian Muchan
Headteacher.

The Dance School of Scotland
The Dance School of Scotland has been in existance since 1983. The Dance School is made up of approximately 80 pupils who have come to Knightswood Secondary School in order to train for a career in Dance and Musical Theatre. Its success can be measured in terms of the numbers of its former pupils who have been successful in their chosen field. For example seven are members of the Scottish Ballet Company, others are members of dance companies in England and many are employed in television and West End stage shows.
