We are thrilled to announce the premiere of It’s Our Home, Glasgow – a citywide musical celebration marking Glasgow’s 850th anniversary – taking place on:
🗓️ Thursday 12th June
🕒 9.15am
We’re inviting every school in Glasgow to join us for a special live watch party, bringing together pupils, staff and families to celebrate the creativity and diversity of our city.
🎶 About the Project
As part of the official Glasgow 850 celebrations, this new song – It’s Our Home, Glasgow – was specially written for children across the city to sing together. With verses in English, Scots and Gaelic, and a chorus supported by Makaton signing, the project celebrates the voices, cultures and stories that make Glasgow our home.
The final video features over 325 submissions from more than 135 primary schools, alongside contributions from ASN schools, a nursery, and a home education group.
“This project captures the spirit of our city — creative, inclusive and full of heart. It’s been inspiring to see so many schools come together in such a joyful way.”
— Martin O’Neill, Principal Instructor, CREATE
