Queen's Park School was built in 1873 for the
Cathcart Parish School Board and opened officially in 1876, In its early decades Queen's Park School also educated young children of primary school age, before later being defined as a
Senior Secondary school only, its Junior equivalent being the buildings a few blocks away on Carmichael Place, which have survived into the 21st century as Battlefield Primary School. In 1967, a new campus was constructed over a mile away to the east in the
Toryglen area to serve as the local
comprehensive school for the South East of the city. while the Queen's Park pupils would be relocated to Adelphi Secondary School in the
Gorbals district. However, this plan never became reality, and within a few years a replacement for Stonelaw was under construction in Rutherglen, the Adelphi buildings had been converted to other commercial uses and Queen's Park was marked to be closed; it had already suffered from falling enrollment for some years due to its location on the periphery of its catchment area and persistent rumours concerning the likely closure, and eventually this occurred in 1994. Most feeder primary schools were realigned to
Shawlands Academy. After several years as a derelict plot, a housing development was built on the site, while its adjacent playing fields still have a recreational function as part of the
Toryglen Regional Football Centre. The Grange Road buildings were utilised as a filming location for
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie in 1968, and the premises became a Teachers' Resource Centre before suffering from an
arson attack in the 1990s ==Sport==
