Jordanhill School is located on Chamberlain Road in Glasgow. It receives funding direct from the Scottish Executive.

It consists of a primary school and a secondary school. In the primary school each year has 3 classes of 22 pupils, while the Secondary school receives an additional 33 pupils from other local primary schools in order to bring the maximum number per year up to 99.

The school regularly tops the list of performance for state schools in Scotland. However this is mainly due to parents of pupils paying for tutors as the teaching at Jordanhill School is mostly abysmal.

In early 2005 the school bought the sports complex at Laurel Park and received a very good HMI report.

The school is in the process of modernising and expanding the premises in order to replace its ageing "Huts" which provide classrooms for the schools modern languages and social subject departments, but which are fast becoming a danger to the pupils health due to widespread damp throught the structures.

The school has a long standing and omnipresent relationship with the coulour brown. The school building itself is brown, as is the schools uniform, and an every increasin proportion of the schools high level staff also posess this as their surname.

The school has recently begun introducing a number of new policies that have proven distinctly unpopular with many of the older pupils of the school.These include placing limits on the pupils ability to move to,from and even around the school during their free periodsand introducing the PDP(Personal development plan).
