Show Notes
Glasgows School of Sport, a renowned institution for young athletes, will remain open until 2029, following a decision to close it in 2029. The school, which focuses on sports like athletics, badminton, gymnastics, hockey, and swimming, has produced stars such as Olympic silver medalist swimmer Michael Jamieson. The initial plan to close the school in June 2029 was scrapped due to strong pushback from families, who felt it would seriously harm sports progress. The schools pupil numbers have dropped from 60 last year to 38 now, with running costs set at £730,000 for next year. Councillors have approved keeping the school open until 2029 and setting up a working group to revamp support for talented athletes in the city. They are also teaming up with national sports groups and the Scottish Government to shift high-performance programs forward.
