Supporting The Academy

Our multi award-winning Saunders Centre for Science and Food Technology is a fantastic addition to our campus. The creation of this first-class facility was made possible with the help and support of the entire Glasgow Academy community. We are hugely grateful to all who support The Academy’s vision and we greatly appreciate every gift, large or small.

Etcetera

In 2006 we started a magazine for former pupils and friends of The Glasgow Academy and Westbourne School. Its purpose is to enable those who have a connection with or an interest in either school (or both) to catch up with news of what's going on. It contains news stories, Club pages, profiles of former pupils and updates… anything, in fact, that we think will be of interest to readers. You can read the most recent issue here or browse past editions in our archive.

The Chronicle

The Chronicle is The Academy's yearbook, reflecting on the events and achievements of each academic session and was first published in 1899. As the result of the generosity of a small number of Academicals, each edition from that date up until the present day is now available to view online. You can read the most recent issue here, or browse past editions in our archive.
