Over 150 years later and the site has greatly expanded, but East Park is still providing education and care to children with complex learning requirements.

The former Whiteinch Public School building on Victoria Park Drive South in Glasgow. It was constructed in 1915.

This segregation included separate entrances, playgrounds, classes and subjects, and was a requirement of the funding of public schools under the Education Act of 1872.

The former Whiteinch Public School in Glasgow. Built in 1915, in the bottom right of this photo, you can see the fence which divided what was once the girls half of the school (in the forefround) from the boys half (in the distance).

We are so happy to welcome all our children and families back for the new school term!
It’s lovely to see everyone returning, ready for a fresh start and excited to learn and grow.
Here’s to a positive and happy term!

Both the lodge and the school were surrounded by the ornate, and rather lethal-looking, spiked railing visible in foreground.

Janitor's Lodge House on Eldon Street in Glasgow. Built in 1882, this was part of the Jacobean style Woodside Public School by Robert Dalglish.

The former Batson Street school on Calder Street in Govanhill. Built in 1874, it's one of the few Jacobean Revival style school buildings in Glasgow.

Love this Glasgow Style font on Andrew Balfour's Edwardian Baroque Holmlea Public School on the Southside of Glasgow.

Thus, it provides a template for saving empty listed buildings across the city which are otherwise at risk of being lost while increasing the supply of affordable housing.

The Edwardian Baroque Holmlea Public School on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed by Andrew Balfour and built in 1908, it was closed in 2005.

Love the proportions of the side facade of this former school building in the Partick area of Glasgow. Built in 1890, it started life as the Saint Peter's Boys School. It's now residential flats.

Designed by A. Lindsay Miller and built in 1904, the school was demolished in 2022, but it's hoped some of the original features will be incorporated in the affordable housing planned for the site.

This font used on the gateposts of the former Haghill Public School in the East End of Glasgow is just superb.

The Boys' Entrance to H. and D. Barclay's 1895 Palazzo Style Mount Florida Public School on the Southside of Glasgow. I love the balcony and the broad over-hanging eves. It's now home to Mount Florida Primary School.

Hand-painted signs in the Children's Wood in the North Kelvinside area of Glasgow. While I like these, there's a slightly post-apocalyptic feel to them (although that might just be me!).

The former janitor's house of the Kelbourne Park School on Hotspur Street in the northwest of Glasgow. Built in 1912, it was designed in a mix of Arts and Crafts and Queen Anne styles by Hutton and Taylor.

This is one of four rather amazing cast iron lamp bases outside the former Dennistoun Public School (now St. Denis' Primary) in the East End of Glasgow.

This was one of the first examples of an open-air school in Glasgow. Such schools were designed to have good ventilation to help limit the spread of diseases such as tuberculosis.

The former Strathclyde Public School on Carstairs Street in the Dalmarnock area of Glasgow. Designed in an Edwardian Baroque style by J. MacKissack, it was built in 1903.

Learning to 'pop' and prep peppers and making some delicious colourful cous cous at our family cooking class at St Roch's primary. #skillsforlife #foodeducation #familylearning #glasgowschools
Unfortunately, too many of these old schools are also at risk of being lost (including this particular one), and if they, we lose not only the building itself, but also all the other aspects of their design, including the fonts used on their facades.

I love the font used for this date plaque from the former Greenfield Primary School in Govan. Glasgow's traditional sandstone schools have a wonderful variety of different fonts, and several different ones can often be found on the same building.

The janitor's house of the former 1901 Greenfield Primary School in Glasgow. A janitor's cottage was a feature of almost all Glasgow schools, and those built in the Victorian and Edwardian eras are often little architectural gems in their own right.

It later became Bellahouston Primary School and is now home to Ibrox Primary School.
