St Columba's High School is a co-educational six-year Roman Catholic, comprehensive secondary school, located next to Tower Hill Gourock, Inverclyde, Scotland. The school serves south west Greenock, Gourock, Inverkip and Wemyss Bay. The current enrolment (2018) is 682 pupils.
The school won the Platinum Award in Enterprise Inverclyde Standards and Quality Report 2005/2006.[1] The school also received top marks from the last visit by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education.(yeah you lied your way through that one) [2] It is also the first school in Inverclyde to receive Charter Mark status, for providing outstanding customer service.[3]
History
The original school dates back to 1909. However St. Columba's in its current form was officially opened by Archbishop Donald Mackintosh of Glasgow, on 16 June 1933. It only took 1 year and 3 days from the initial foundation work to the official opening, and cost £50,000 including roads and fittings. The school was originally located on Peat Road, Greenock and moved to the Bayhill area of Gourock in 1971. In 2009, the school temporarily returned to Greenock where it occupied the former Greenock High School building.[4] The school has been located in the Tower Hill area of Gourock since 2013, in the former Gourock High School building, which was extensively refurbished for the school's use. The refurbishments cost $6m.[5]
Campus
The main teaching block is a refurbished 1960s building which has been extended to provide facilities for wood- and metalwork classes, as well as those for ICT. The campus also includes gymnasia and fitness suites in its PE department. There are football pitches towards the back of the school building, and the building also contains a refurbished library.[4]
