Calderglen High School, commonly referred to as Calderglen, is a state-run secondary school in the St Leonards area of the Scottish new town East Kilbride, in South Lanarkshire. The school has a pupil roll of approximately 2,000, and 130 teachers, making it one of the largest secondary-level education institutions in Europe.[citation needed]

The school was established after the merger of Hunter High School and Claremont High School. Calderglen occupies the site of the former Claremont High, and was opened on 18 February 2008, in a new purpose-built building. The campus is shared with Sanderson High School, a special school catering for students with learning difficulties.

Modernisation

The schools of Hunter and Claremont were in need of renewal due to wear and tear of the buildings. Leaks had started and asbestos damage was becoming a major issue. After consideration by South Lanarkshire Council, it was proposed to merge the two, and rename the new school Calderglen. The other four high schools in East Kilbride have also merged into another two new schools.

Construction of the school started in 2004/2005 ,next to the Claremont building in St Leonards, and was to be ready at the start of the 2007/2008 school year, but was completed 6 months late. The Claremont building is currently being demolished to allow an area for sports facilities.

Controversy

Demolition of the Hunter High School building has caused some controversy among the local people, mainly due to concerns over the asbestos within the structure. Demolition has been delayed, leading to problems with anti-social behaviour, such as youths drinking within the derelict building.

Alumni

Notable alumni of Calderglen's predecessor schools, Claremont and Hunter, include footballer Ally McCoist, television presenter Lorraine Kelly, actor John Hannah, and MSP and former health minister Andy Kerr.
