We are thrilled that you are considering St Columba’s School for the education of your child!

As Admissions Registrar, I am the first point of contact for all prospective families and it is my pleasure to guide you through the admissions process.

As a parent of two Columbans I understand the significance of selecting the right school for your child and the impact it can have on their educational journey. Having personally been through the process myself, I recognise the importance of this decision and the careful considerations it demands. With first-hand experience, I fully appreciate the anticipation, the research, and the numerous visits to different schools, all in pursuit of finding the perfect fit for your child. It is with this understanding that I will guide you through the process and I will do my best to ensure you make an informed decision.

St Columba’s is one of Scotland’s leading non-denominational independent schools. We teach our young people about the world we live in and how to contribute effectively as engaged, balanced adults.

We are proud to prepare young people for the wider world from the rolling hillsides and lush greenery of Kilmacolm, a location that greatly enriches our pupils’ learning experiences.

Be sure to have a look at our social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, where we try to give current and prospective families a flavour of everything that goes on in our classrooms and beyond! They are a great way to experience St Columba’s prior to paying us a visit.

To arrange a tour or taster day, or indeed to ask any questions about any aspect of St Columba’s School, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

In the meantime, I hope you find this portal useful - it is packed full of information about St Columba’s and we hope you find some of the answers you are looking for.

I look forward to meeting you!

Lindsey Mathie, Admissions Registrar
