Dr Paul Thomson, rector of Jordanhill, said: "The opening underlines an important day for the pupils and staff. The state-of-the-art new building is equipped with a range of facilities that have brought the school into the 21st century.

The new campus, funded with the help of a Scottish Government grant, includes a new three-storey block of classrooms, an all-weather hockey pitch and new games courts as well as an extension to the school's refectory.

David Brown, business development manager at Mansell, said: "As Scotland's only grant-aided school, Jordanhill is one of a kind. Being involved in its re-development, by delivering the new campus, is another significant achievement that marks our 100th year in the industry.

"After resolutely working to a fixed deadline, the team at Mansell is encouraged that the finished result has been so well received by the school."
