This encourages pupils to develop their existing strengths and talents, while trying something different. We are delighted to, once again, be featured in the Best Schools Top 10 list of outstanding Scottish Independent Schools based on our Higher and Advanced Higher results. Hamilton College is a co-educational, non-denominational Christian independent school for children and young people aged 3-18, welcoming pupils of all faiths and none. We have a family atmosphere, and a strong supportive ethos. At Hamilton College, we have high expectations of our pupils and are committed to excellence in their academic development. We care for each child individually by offering first rate pastoral care and life-affirming experiences which encourage pupils to develop their existing strengths and talents. There are a wealth of opportunities at Hamilton College; from the academic, to the sporting, creative, and spiritual dimensions of school life. Academic standards are consistently well above national expectations. The progress of younger pupils exceeds expectations for their age and in the senior school, SQA data shows the College ‘adds value’ to the educational experience.
