History of Drumpark School
Drumpark School opened on 5 May 1926, featuring decorations by the artist
Buchanan High School in 2013 and 2014. The students have climbed Tinto Hill
and done a lot of other sports activities over the years. The school originally was for pupils with medical issues in the early years of its history but some of the senior pupils became more mainstream than some of the younger students in the lower years in the secondary department.
The disused old buildings were subjected to arson in 2015[8] and were subsequently demolished, with housing planned for the site.[9]
