Castlehead High School is a state secondary school in the district Castlehead; town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, in the west of Scotland. In 1989 John Neilson High School (founded as the John Neilson Institution in 1852) merged into Castlehead High School.
Castlehead is one of six Scottish Football Association Schools of Football. Under this program, twenty first-year students receive daily coaching, development and recovery sessions and other academic and social development activities. The Schools of Football program is funded through the Scottish Football Association's partnership with Cashback For Communities, a Scottish Government scheme which gives communities illicit monies seized from criminals.
On 8 September 2008, Castlehead hosted the draw for the first round of the 2008–09 Scottish Cup.
