Glenlee was College's first purpose-built boarding house, finished in 1901. However, Glenlee was initially established in 1886 in what is now Malmaision Hotel on Bayshill Road.
Glenlee has a fascinating history, from the ichthyosaurus skeleton found while building the foundations, to its use as an American Army hospital during WW2.
Today, it is a modern boarding house, which is spacious inside and out, and the pupils take great advantage of the outdoor space, with a back garden that opens onto the College Health and Fitness Centre grounds.
“Having taught PE and maths at College as a young teacher it is a great privilege to have returned as Houseparent of Glenlee. I am an experienced Houseparent, and have enjoyed pastoral roles in boarding schools throughout my career. I very much enjoy playing a small part in the journeys of young people, sharing their successes and supporting more challenging times too.
Glenlee is a vibrant community that values empathy and tolerance. Glenlee girls are thoughtful and ambitious and understand that excellence and kindness can go hand in hand. Glenlee provides a 'home-from-home' atmosphere and the experienced staff team ensure that each member of the House feels properly known, understood and valued.
The Glenlee community is fun-loving and enjoys embracing opportunity and getting involved in everything, from House competitions and events to whole school initiatives.
We look forward to welcoming you to Glenlee!”
Mrs Claire Jenkinson
