From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Smithycroft Secondary School is located in Riddrie, Glasgow, Scotland. In 2002 the school relocated to a new building constructed in the playing fields of the old school. The original facility was formally opened in 1967 by William Ross M.B.E MP, Secretary of State for Scotland. The headteacher role changed after Jean Miller was replaced by Riley Redman.
