Glenalmond College Scotland Independent co-educational boarding school continuity and the future

Continuity & The Future

We do all we can to help our leavers become the people they want to be. Almost everyone goes on from Glenalmond to Higher Education and the vast majority to university. From the Third Form, when GCSE choices are made, to the Fifth Form, when a careers guidance report is prepared for each pupil by the Independent Schools Careers Organisation, careful consideration is given to the best options for Sixth Form study and the implications for future career choices. In the Sixth Form, the Housestaff and Head of Careers provide advice on the courses and institutions available, interview practice and support through the application process itself. Presentations by visiting speakers, a comprehensive Careers Library and visits to businesses and professional organisations and also help them to find the right path.

Many pupils now choose to apply to university after leaving, but we advise and support their applications as we do the applications of those still here.

So begins what we hope will be a lifelong link between leaver and College. All leavers become members of the 3,000-strong Old Glenalmond Club, which provides a social and sporting focus for past pupils, known as OGs. Many of our visiting speakers are OGs, and it is a mark of the College that so many remain in close contact and, indeed, entrust their sons and daughters to us.
