Claire Chisholm, Principal, Lomond School:

“I am very pleased to announce that Lomond School is to join QED Schools Group. QED Schools Group is a new forward-thinking schools group built to challenge convention and prepare young people for a rapidly changing world.

“At Lomond, we pride ourselves on our strong community, exceptional teaching and the high level of care shown to every pupil and we were delighted with the outstanding feedback across all these areas following a recent three-day IB Evaluation Visit. These findings show our school is in a very strong place when it comes to educating and empowering every one of our pupils as individuals. The security and platform QED Schools Group provides will enable us to build on that strength and pursue our development plans with confidence, stability and strong financial foundations.”

“Life at Lomond School will continue as normal. I will remain as Principal, and the Senior Leadership Team will continue to run the school”.

“QED Schools Group is delighted to be partnering with Lomond School. Our values and belief in the joy of nurturing individuality and human potential, putting children at the centre of all we do, are entirely aligned, and we are thrilled to be part of the school community.

Lomond School’s outstanding feedback from its recent three-day IB Evaluation Visit, which praised its strong community, exceptional teaching and the high level of care shown to every pupil was a joy to read. The team from the IB highlighted the school’s passion for nurturing individuality, developing character and unleashing potential in every pupil and we look forward to supporting Lomond School in continuing this excellent work”.
