Eastwood High School is a comprehensive, non-denominational school located centrally in East Renfrewshire to the south of Glasgow, Scotland. It is one of the successor schools to Eastwood Senior Secondary School which opened in 1936 in Clarkston, Glasgow. The current head teacher is Stuart Maxwell.
Eastwood High School is situated on Capelrig Road and has a large suburban, and partly rural, catchment area. It stands in the grounds of Capelrig House constructed in 1769, which is a Category A building listed as being of architectural and historical importance. The school serves the immediate area of Newton Mearns and the villages of Neilston and Uplawmoor. Many pupils from outwith the catchment area have opted to attend Eastwood to experience the wide range of opportunities the school provides. The close proximity of Patterton railway station, and bus services, make travelling to the school relatively straightforward.
Eastwood High School's cluster primary schools are Crookfur, Mearns, Neilston and Uplawmoor.
A new state of the art school building was built, replacing the 1960s building, and is now in full use. It was opened in August 2013. This has improved the teaching facilities and the whole school environment and has been a major step in developing further the pupil experience. The improvements include two all-weather pitches and new sports complex.
Presently, the school roll is 1500 pupils. This is expected to increase due to the extensive house building currently taking place around the school.
