All that remains of Rockvilla School
Image: © Richard Sutcliffe Taken: 24 Jul 2020
The school building and janitor's house were demolished in 1996. Today all that remains of the school is its curved retaining wall, with the separate entrance steps for boys and girls, which are Category B listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB33621. These separate entrances are an original feature of the school. They were a specific requirement of the Glasgow School Board which, although allowing co-educational schools, rigidly enforced the rule that boys and girls must be kept apart as much as possible.
