St Columba's School is a mixed independent day school in Kilmacolm in the Inverclyde council area and the historic county of Renfrewshire in Scotland. It is split across two sites - the Junior School is located at Knockbuckle Road (PA13 4EQ) and the Senior School at Duchal Road (PA13 4AU) - and is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference group of schools. St. Columba's is a non-denominational school, open to all religions but has strong Christian roots. Today the school provides both primary and secondary education between its Junior and Senior Schools for around 730 pupils between the ages of five and eighteen years. St Columba's generally draws its pupils from its own county of Renfrewshire or the neighbouring county of Ayrshire. The school was named The Sunday Times' ''"School of the Year"'' in 2004/05 after attaining the best examination results of any school in Scotland. The present Rector is David Girdwood. ==History== St Columba's was founded in 1897 at Duchal Road where it is still located. The preparatory school at St Columba's was formerly located at Shieldhall on Bridge of Weir Road. Boarders were once accepted and accommodated in Shallott, the current junior school building. The junior school was then located at Shieldhall on the Bridge of Weir Road. During the Second World War, Shieldhall was utilised as dormatories for evacuees from other schools, particularly those also owned by the Girls' Schools Company. The Knockbuckle Road site, which now houses the Junior School, was once occupied by boarders. When boarding ceased in 1970 it was developed and has been the site of the Junior School ever since.〔(110 Years of St Columba's School )〕 St Columba's first admitted boys in 1978 and, with that year's progression and graduation, became fully co-educational in 1982. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Columba's School, Kilmacolm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
