For anyone who enjoys history – in particular local history, why not take time to read over our School History drop down on the home page.

The original Gargieston building opened in 1975 to replace Grammar School which was located in the Sheriff Court car park area at the end of Dundonald Road. The school badge with KGS intertwined, Kilmarnock Grammar School, was retained.

There are many photographs in this section – some from over 100 years ago. Why not have a look? Perhaps this could prompt discussions with grandparents about schooling in their time and how different things have become – especially now with our use of ICT!

I’d love to hear from the children about their findings and if any relatives have old photos of Grammar, I’d be delighted to add them to our pages!
