Main building of Lomond School


Lomond School is an independent co-educational day and boarding school in Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It was formed from a merger in 1977 between Larchfield School (dating from 1845 and previously called Larchfield Academy) and St Bride's School for Girls (founded 1895). It is a member school of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. The school originally used both the Larchfield and St Brides sites. In 1997 the St Brides building burnt down in a fire. A replacement building was built on the St Brides site, and the Larchfield site was sold.[1]


Larchfield Academy (later called Larchfield School) was founded in 1845 and was latterly a preparatory school for boys. In the late 1920s and early 1930s Cecil Day-Lewis and W. H. Auden taught there briefly.[2]


It currently has over 575 pupils and over 45 teaching staff.
