About schools in Renfrewshire
Most of the 63 schools listed in Renfrewshire are primary schools. Its eleven secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. Another two schools provide for children with additional needs or alternative provision.
Schools in Renfrewshire are inspected by Education Scotland. Its inspectors evaluate a school against the How good is our school quality indicators rather than a single grade, and each page carries the inspection date with a link to the published report. Scotland does not release school-level attainment under an open licence, so these pages show the pupil-census figures its government does publish, among them the school roll and the spread of pupils across the most and least deprived areas. Treat a report as a starting point and visit before you decide.

Common questions about schools in Renfrewshire
- How many schools are in Renfrewshire?
- OfferDay lists 63 schools in Renfrewshire, including 50 primary schools and eleven secondary schools.
- Who inspects schools in Renfrewshire?
- Schools in Renfrewshire are inspected by Education Scotland (HM Inspectors). It evaluates a school against the How good is our school quality indicators rather than giving one overall grade, and each school page carries the inspection date with a link to the published report.
- Which are the best schools in Renfrewshire?
- OfferDay does not rank schools in Renfrewshire. Scotland does not publish school-level attainment under an open licence, so there is no fair basis for a league table. Compare schools on their Education Scotland reports and the pupil-census figures its government publishes, and treat any single measure as a starting point rather than a verdict.
- How many towns are in the Renfrewshire council area?
- OfferDay groups the Renfrewshire schools across six towns, listed in the schools-by-town section on this page. Any school with no town recorded in the national register is listed separately, grouped by phase, so every school in the council area is reachable.
