The school is one of 38 secondary schools in the Glasgow City Council area,^[2] and is named after the area in which the school is situated.

History

Hillpark was created from the merger of two schools, Sir John Maxwell Secondary School and Strathbungo Secondary School. The building opened in 1967.^[3]

From 1987 to 2006, Hillpark had a Gaelic unit providing Gaelic medium education to pupils. This existed until the opening of the Glasgow Gaelic School.^[4]^[5]

Facilities

The school has a swimming pool, fitness suite, football pitch, games hall, library and a drama studio. There are also eight computer labs.

A significant feature of the school is the Autism Unit, also known as the Language and Communication Resource (LCR).^[6] Pupils identified as having an autism spectrum disorder are predominantly taught within mainstream classes with the support of LCR staff.^[7]
