Uddingston Grammar School is a mainstream state school in Uddingston, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is one of 17 secondary schools operated by South Lanarkshire Council. Its motto is 'Virtute Crescam' which means 'May I grow in moral excellence'.
The school was opened in August 1884,[1] with its buildings located next to Uddingston railway station. In 2009, Uddingston Grammar moved to a new campus nearby (on the site of its former playing fields) as part of South Lanarkshire Council's school modernisation programme; the oldest of the existing buildings was converted into apartments as part of a residential development.[2]
The school's catchment area includes the communities of Uddingston, Bothwell, Birkenshaw, Tannochside, Viewpark and recently parts of Newton in Cambuslang.[3][4][5]
The school's roll is approximately 1175 pupils as of September 2013, with approximately 90 teaching staff (FTE).
