Abronhill High School was a non-denominational, comprehensive, secondary school in Abronhill, a suburb of the Scottish new town of Cumbernauld. The school roll was 473 pupils in January 2009.[1] The school was the setting of the 1980 Scottish film Gregory's Girl.[2] Abronhill High School was near Abronhill Town Centre.
Closure
In 2012 North Lanarkshire Council (NLC) informed parents that to save more than a million pounds per year it planned to close Abronhill High from August 2013 and transfer pupils to Cumbernauld High.[2] It was subsequently delayed until 2014 following a consultation. The plan was criticised for damaging pupils' education. This did not stop NLC from going forward with the closure, and on 27 June, the school shut its gates for good.[3][4] Demolition commenced on 18 November.[5]
