Hillhead High School can be found on Oakfield Avenue in Glasgow’s West End and is one of the most diverse secondary schools in Scotland.
It wasn’t until the early seventies that Hillhead became a comprehensive school after the council abolished the selectivity process.
The school has produced many famous faces over the years with some even going on to study at the neighbouring University of Glasgow. Hillhead’s former pupils include actors, footballers and novelists.
