Foundation stone of hutchesons grammar school laid by thomas hutcheson in in glasgow

March 19th , 1641

Hutchesons’ Grammar School is an independent day school for boys and girls aged 3–18 in Glasgow, Scotland. It was founded as Hutchesons’ Boys’ Grammar School by George Hutcheson and Thomas Hutcheson in 1641

The foundation stone of Hutchesons’ Grammar School in Glasgow was laid by Thomas Hutcheson in 1639. The school was established following a bequest by the Hutcheson brothers, Thomas and George, who were wealthy merchants in the city.

The school was founded in 1641 as Hutchesons hospital by brothers Thomas and George Hutcheson of Lambhill, Lanarkshire and originally opened to educate “twelve indigent orphans”

Their endowment was aimed at founding a hospital for the elderly and a school for poor boys in Glasgow, reflecting their philanthropic vision for the betterment of their community.

Hutchesons’ Grammar School has since evolved into one of Scotland’s most respected independent schools, providing education to boys and girls from primary through secondary levels. Over the centuries, the school has moved locations and expanded, but it continues to uphold the educational mission envisioned by its founders.

The legacy of the Hutcheson brothers, particularly their contribution to education and care for the elderly in Glasgow, remains a significant part of the city’s historical and educational landscape. Hutchesons’ Grammar School is a testament to their vision, continuing to offer a high-quality education and contributing to the community’s welfare, in line with the founders’ original intentions.
