King's Park Senior Secondary School (Glasgow)
Kingsbridge Drive, Glasgow G44 4JS

Badge as depicted in Bunty #103 [2 Jan 1960]



While Wikipedia suggests King's Park Senior Secondary School was established in 1962, the school badge clearly predates the school on Fetlar Drive, Simshill. The Kingsbridge Drive school served both primary and secondary pupils with the ground floor as the primary school and upper level being the High School. When the school moved to Simshill between 1962 to 1966 it became a comprehensive.

The Wikipedia page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Park_Secondary_School would appear to need correcting to reflect the school's earlier existence on Kingsbridge Drive.
