To the Families of Fernhill School

24th Mar 2026

Like many schools across Glasgow, we were deeply saddened to hear the news of Fernhill’s imminent closure.

We have taken time as a school to assess how we could help in any positive way we could. Belmont House is proud to reaffirm its commitment to delivering exceptional education and this summer we will welcome some experienced teachers from Fernhill School into our community. We are delighted to provide jobs during this difficult time.

As a School we have a strong track record of inspiring pupils, fostering curiosity, and supporting individual achievement – values that closely align with those of Fernhill.

For families, Belmont House represents continuity as well as opportunity. Pupils will benefit from the expertise and fresh perspectives our educators offer, while continuing to thrive within Belmont House’s nurturing and ambitious environment. Our focus remains on ensuring every child is supported to reach their full potential, both academically and personally.

We understand that periods of change can bring uncertainty, but if you wish to arrange a tour of our School in Newton Mearns or book a Taster Session, please email: admissions@belmontschool.co.uk or you can contact the School directly on 0141 639 2922.

We look forward to welcoming new pupils and staff, and to building on our tradition of excellence together!
