Quick Facts Address, Information ...

St Peter the Apostle High School is a Roman Catholic comprehensive school serving the northern part of Clydebank, the village of Duntocher, Faifley, Hardgate and the Drumchapel area of Glasgow. Students come in substantial numbers from Old Kilpatrick, Knightswood and Scotstoun. Five primary schools provide the great majority of the first-year intake including; St Mary's Primary School, St Joseph's Primary School, St Eunan's Primary School, St Stephen's Primary School, and St Clare's Primary School, although a variety of others add to this number.

History

In 2009, West Dunbartonshire Council started a project with Bam construction to create new schools in the area. The previous Catholic secondary schools in Clydebank, St Columba's High School and St Andrew's High School were to be merged to form the new school, the campus for which was built on the sports grounds of St Columba's to allow the existing school to operate during construction of the new building. After the opening of St Peter the Apostle High School, the former St Columba's High School building was demolished, with the new St Eunan's Primary School built on this site. The cost to build the new school was £35m.[citation needed]
