What The Good Schools Guide says..
Huge top-notch, modern kitchens for home ec. Girls on our tour made it clear, however, there is a drive towards the sciences. Much more than nicely turned out, well-mannered young ladies; impressively intelligent, articulate young women. Junior school now co-ed. ‘Punches above its weight’ in sport.

What the school says...
Craigholme is the only independent school in the West of Scotland catering exclusively for girls. Founded in 1894, the school provides co-educational nursery facilities for 3-5 year olds and an excellent all-round education for girls aged 5-18 years. We believe that smaller class sizes are a major strength of the school. Classes average 15 pupils.
