Belmont House School


Belmont House School is an independent co-educational school in Newton Mearns, East Renfrewshire, Scotland, providing primary and secondary education. It is based in the former Broom House, a Georgian category B listed building.

History

The school was founded in 1929 in Greenhill Avenue, Giffnock as a boys' preparatory school, and moved to its current home in the former mansion house of the Broom Estate in 1934. The Broom House was built in 1840, possibly to a design by David Hamilton, and was the birthplace of Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyll. In 1977, the secondary department opened, and the school began admitting female pupils in 2000.

Junior school

The school was originally established as a preparatory school. Today, pupils sit the cycling proficiency test and a programme of Emergency First Aid in Primary 6.
