Smithycroft Secondary School is a relatively small coeducational day school in Glasgow. The school was formally opened in February 1968 by the RT. Honourable William Ross M.B.E MP Secretary of State for Scotland after two single-gender schools were joined. In 2002 the school relocated to a new building designated in the original playing fields of the old school. Today this remains the official residence, with Smithycroft being the first Private Partnership School. It is now also home of The Glasgow International Volleyball Club. The Headteacher is Jean Miller. ==Sports== Rugby The school has participated in Rugby League championships across the UK for the last 6 years. Through this pupils have participated in rugby exchanges and tours to Spain, France and more notably Australia. A number of old Smithonians have been selected to go on to play for the Scotland Rugby team.〔http://www.scotlandrl.com/srl/scotland-u18.html〕 Athletics Smithycroft has produced several national and international level athletes, most prominently Andrew Dearie and Nicky Stone.
