We believe it is very important for families to see round our school on a normal school day. Only that way is it possible for parents and their children to sample our family ethos, appreciate the very favourable teacher to pupil ratio and gain an insight into life at Kelvinside Academy. Families will be given a tour of the School by the Rector or the Head of Junior School. Prospective parents are encouraged to attend our Open Mornings (held in September / November) together with their children.
Application for entryTo make an application for entry in August 2013 (for all stages), an application form should be completed and submitted to the Registrar.
