Broomhill is a district in the West End of the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is situated north of the River Clyde and is bounded by the districts of Thornwood and Partick to the south, Hyndland to the east, and Jordanhill, Scotstoun and Victoria Park to the west.
The main streets in the district are Crow Road and Broomhill Drive. Crow road is a main artery in the West End and provides links to Partick at its south end and Anniesland at its North end.
Transport to and from the area is supported by bus services 4 & 19A along Crow road, and various "dial a buses" on Broomhill drive, and the nearby train stations of Hyndland and (slightly further away) Jordanhill.
Broomhill Primary School is the main feeder school to the 3 state secondary schools in the area. The facilities consist of two buildings - the 'annexe' which houses the younger children and the main building which has classrooms for the older members of the school. For Broomhill Primary School Activities please visit Broomhill Parent Council at Broomhill Primary School.
There are 3 state secondary schools which serve the area. The recently refurbished, non-denominational Hydland Secondary and the recently rebuilt Roman Catholic St Thomas Aquinas are the two main secondary schools.
The area also has a college school, directly funded by the Scottish Government, Jordanhill School, situated next to the Jordanhill College Campus (college & Strathclyde University grounds). Jordanhill School is directly funded by the government because it was a demonstrator school for the former Jordanhill College of Education, now part of the University of STrathclyde. The school has recently undergone major development work including new science labs in a new building and sports facilities. Despite the fact that the school is within the local authority's education provision, so many local parents wish their children to attend Jordanhill that there is a waiting list, with children's names being posted from a very early age. Well-performing primary school children may also get referrals from their primary school teachers to help them.
