Gleniffer High School is a Scottish state school located in Paisley for boys and girls aged 11 to 18. Since 1988, Gleniffer has been located in Paisley's Foxbar district, close to the Gleniffer Braes in the west coast of Scotland, south of Glasgow.[2]
The school serves children from the geographical areas of Foxbar, Ferguslie Glenburn and Lochfield.[3] The school's pupils come from a mix of social and private housing.[3] With a pupil population of 1,226 as of September 2012, Gleniffer is the third largest of Renfrewshire's 11 state high schools (The largest is Park Mains, with a roll of 1,360).
As of 2010, Gleniffer High was ranked the 128th state school in Scotland, as measured by the percentage of students (11%) achieving five Higher passes.[4] Since this number fell down to 10% for Gleniffer at the 2011 exams, Gleniffer would now be ranked joint 147th on this league.
The school was inspected in 2011/2012. The Education Scotland report cited the school to be "very good" on 5 key quality indicators.[5] It therefore did not achieve the top rank of "outstanding" for any of the inspection criterion.[6] The Head Teacher, Mr David Nicholls, told the local press he was "absolutely delighted by how positive this report is";[7] thus fulfilling his self-stated key duty to "promote and protect the school ... [to] ... parents, the media and politicians".[8]
