Secondary school roll
Information on secondary school roll and occupancy levels by school.
Our secondary school population increased slightly over the last 10 years with a recent slight dip reflecting the decrease in primary school numbers pre 2011. The secondary school roll increased by 5.2 per cent between 2003 and 2010 then reduced by 2.4 per cent between 2010 and 2016.
Around 19 per cent of secondary age young people who attend an East Renfrewshire school currently live out with the area.

Table 8 of the full report (related documents on this page) shows the number of pupils that attend our secondary schools but reside out with East Renfrewshire Council i.e. a number of pupils attending these schools as a result of a successful placing request. This shows that there is scope to accommodate additional catchment pupils in schools with high occupancy levels in areas with known planned new house building. Over the past few years, the Council has expanded provision with new larger schools at Williamwood High School and Eastwood High School and extended provision at Mearns Castle High School.
Further information on occupancy levels by school is available in the full section of the report which can be found in the related documents area of this page.
