History

The school originally opened in 1962. The original buildings were demolished in 2002, with a new, smaller school opening in 2004. This was part of a widespread program of rebuilding and refurbishing schools throughout Glasgow by Glasgow City Council in a PFI program. St Oswald's Secondary School and St Margaret Marys Secondary School are now working together at the St Margaret Mary's Secondary School building. St Oswalds Secondary School moved into the St Margaret Mary's building. [2]
