At the start of 6th year I was convinced I wanted to study law at uni but this dull course really put me off to be honest. But hey, I don't think law is the most exciting course and all my friends that do it are constantly complaining at how dull it is. Anyway, my employment course here was as exciting as it could be and it gave me an insight into law. They offer a full range of Highers at the college, HNC and HND courses and they also have a wide range of evening classes. For years I have been saying to myself that I'll do one of the evening jewellery making courses that they have here as I would love to make my own jewellery. I'll get round to it one of these days. The college is also very handy to get to by public transport and there's even a bus stop right outside. Perfect!

This is a very handy, local college which manages to attract students (in all capacities) from all…read moreover Glasgow. I can certainly account for this when I get the early morning bus to uni. My bus journeys aside, it seems that this college has for years attracts many people from all over Glasgow. This has got to be a good sign. I myself have never actually attending a course here, however know quite a few others who have. Subsequently, I can say with conviction that this college offers a wide range of course and flexible learning styles. These are the strongest elements. As for the courses, there is an element of hit and miss, however this is nothing unique and should be expected in any institution. On the whole, I have heard mainly positive response and comments on any courses attended. So, worth having a look at their website if you want to go gain a higher, certificate or just take up a new hobby. I will certainly get round to a cooking course here - some day...

Whitburn Academy is a six-year comprehensive, non-denominational school. The school building opened…read moreoriginally in 1967 and was extensively refurbished and upgraded in 2001/2. It now provides excellent modern educational facilities for pupils from Whitburn and surrounding villages. There are 4 language laboratories ,6 Computing/Business Education Classrooms and 2 IT suites. There are now 10 Science labs,5 Craft & Design labs, 4 Home Economics Rooms, 4 Music Classrooms and 4 Music Tuition Rooms. There is also 1 Gymnasia,1 Games Hall,1 Conditioning Room plus 1 Dance Studio. Also an all weather pitch and changing pavilion plus a Swimming pool. My three children attended this school and all achieved good qualifications. Some of the staff have been there for a long time and this is good when you go to parent nights as they know you and you feel more comfortable discussing your childs education. The Academy is an important part of the community, used for Pantomimes and other shows, the starting point for the yearly gala day and of course it's most recent claim to fame was when local boy, Leon returned after winning X factor!

Stow College is a great old Glasgow college, that is renowned for its excellent facilities and…read morereputation for providing excellent education. Stow was the first in Scotland to offer Sound Engineering as a course of study and is the college of choice for many budding young musicians and sound engineers in Glasgow. In addition to its great facilities, top of the range equipment and state of the art technology, the toilets are pretty clean too - which is always nice eh? The canteen offers plenty of good grub throughout the day, including a full breakfast for only £2. The only negative thing I can think of is about the grumpy old man that works in the convenience shop, but I doubt it would be the same without him.

Located round the back of the art school, it won't attract tourists, and the large, functional building expresses much of the place's practical intentions, but little of the creativity within. It is a splendid spot for further and adult education, with lots of vocational courses and media-associated subjects. Many of the courses have a strong practical component, and feel more like project work than traditional, lecture based education: a real positive, modern attitude in their practice.

Barrie, and…read moreperhaps most excitingly DARIUS!!!, this privately-run school in the west end was first established in the 1800's and boasts a huge array of facilities and features. Being a private school the uniform policy is pretty strict, but with rumors of the boys trousers soon changing to the purple tartan pattern this may soon change from a cause of nuisance, to one of sheer hilarity on epic proportions. Honestly, tartan trousers? Genius. With the recently added brand spanking new primary school building now perched precariously over the Kelvin and protruding it's sparkling glass faced walls onto Belmont Street, this contrasts interestingly with it's rather older and more traditional buildings to the rear and make the school fees well worth the money, even if your child has to endure various missiles and projectiles launched from neighbouring schools at his rather dubious tartan trousers.

Apart from being socially controversial, private schools have had a rather difficult time in the…read morepast ten years. The abolition of assisted places undermined the class mixture that rescued many of them from being too exclusive and the ability to pay became more critical than academic talent, at least as far as admission procedures went. Despite this, the Academy still has a reputation for strong intellectual achievement, and the pupils, seen in the West End most days in their uniforms, are smart and well mannered. It is a school for those with bright academic hopes, and the new buildings, mirrored in the development of rival schools, do not hide a school for the rich and dim. Tough selection procedures ensure that they continue to provide a generation of lawyers and doctors, although it is always worth noting that this sort of education is not really ideal for everyone.

My niece attends the classes and she has progressed really well, with the help of the dedicated teachers who are all highly skilled. It also runs the Ozanam Club, founded by the Society of St Vincent De Paul, who meet on Monday nights and provide assistance for young people and children with special needs or disabilities. The main hall can seat around 100-140, and can be hired out for functions, as well as being close to a kitchen for catering purposes. There are also two smaller committee rooms, which are usually used for meetings and community council sessions. A good sized centre, with a huge play park behind it. It could do with a refurbishment and a clear up, but other than that, perfect for the communities activities.

While it may seem a tad strange to review a school, and even stranger when you consider I did not…read moreattend this school myself, this review is based solely on the hiring of the gym hall. Unlike the 40 or 50 quid you have to shell out for 5-a-side football facilities across the city, Knightswood Secondary gym hall is available for hire for a paltry ten pounds. The set-up is basic - an indoor hall, a couple of goals, small changing room and truly awful showers. However, the value for money is terrific, while the heat generated in the hall will ensure you sweat out all of the gunk that remains in your system from a rough weekend. Availability is an issue given it is used by many of the school's clubs, but it's defintiely worth enquiring about.
