Boroughmuir High School
Résumé
Boroughmuir High School is a non-denominational secondary school in Edinburgh, Scotland.
It was founded in 1904, and located at 22–24 Warrender Park Crescent, overlooking Bruntsfield Links, in a building designed by John Alexander Carfrae, and remembered by Muriel Spark as 'the school on the links'. Built as Boroughmuir School, the building became James Gillespies in 1913 when the new Boroughmuir on Viewforth was opened. After the new Gillespie's was opened the building became Boroughmuir again as the 'Junior School' housing first and second years. The building on the links is now University of Edinburgh student residences.
The school moved to a site at 26 Viewforth, also designed by Carfrae, from 1913 to 2018. Built as a ‘higher grade’ school, the building was designed to accommodate over 1200 pupils in 40 classrooms. It was a large '8 block' centred around two quads (with a gymnasium at the lower ground floor), the perimeter corridor and surrounding classrooms had large tripartite windows and corridor windows facing the 'quad'. Additional wings, dining halls, glazed roofs and mezzanine floors were added later as the school struggled for space The school also used nearby St Oswalds Hall as an annex.
In June 2018 the school moved to the new building at 111 Viewforth in Fountainbridge on the site of a demolished brewery. The new building was named the Building of the Year by Edinburgh Architectural Association, and also won the RIAS Award 2018 and RIBA Award for Scotland.
Its catchment area is in the south side of the city, and includes Bruntsfield, Buckstone, and South Morningside Primary Schools.
In 2011 Boroughmuir's exam results were the fourth best state school results in Scotland. Boroughmuir High School was also awarded the high achievement of State School of the Year in 2012 and 2018 by the Sunday Times Newspaper.
The school was opened by the Secretary of State for Scotland, Thomas McKinnon Wood in 1914.
