Lomond School is a private, co-educational, day and boarding school in Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Lomond School is, currently, the only day and boarding school on the west coast of Scotland.[citation needed] It was formed from a merger in 1977 between Larchfield School (founded 1845 and previously called Larchfield Academy) and St Bride's School for Girls (founded 1895).[2]
Lomond School primarily teaches to the Scottish Education System, but in pupils' senior years (S5 & S6) at the school they can move into one of the International Baccalaureate programmes. The IB programmes were introduced in August 2021.[3]
It is a member school of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.[4]
The principal of the school is Claire Chisholm who took over from Johanna Urquhart,[5] in January 2024. Before Mrs Urquhart, the previous headmaster was Simon Mills.[6]
